LV – Autumn/Winter 2011 Campaign

Posted by Qing on July 19, 2011 | No comments

Since I laid my attention on Chinese model Sun Fei Fei since early 2010, I felt this girl could go sky high. Well done for Sun Fei Fei for being selected for LV’s 2011 AW campaign. It’s probably better to have some angelic fresh face to perform these S&M-leather-shiny-clad collection. Nice work for selecting some less obvious and non-mood-direct-related faces!

Girl Crush

Posted by Qing on May 21, 2011 | No comments

it’s been a while since i have this little crush on girls and recently it was Dree Hemingway who took my attention. she has this quite soft jaw line and very defined lips.

first time noticed her was about more than a year ago when Chanel launched the fake tattoo links, demonstrated by her after the Chanel AW10 show.

and this girl can dress too.  here is shown in Garance’s photo untitled ‘how to…wear a tee shirt when it’s too hot to wear a tee shirt?’

Model Scene – Fei Fei Sun

Posted by Qing on January 4, 2011 | No comments

Fei Fei is her first name. She’s another chinese model who’s been breaking through to the western fashion world in the past 2 years. In the past 6 months, I think her image has just becoming stronger and stronger. First here are some shots for brand campaign Shanghai Tang SS2010. She’s starring with Japanese male model Takashi Watanabe in SS10. There’s some calmness mixing with a tiny bit of little girl’s wittiness in her impressions.

Then following shots for Grazia China has proven her strength for studio commercial shots.

Her image could be quite neutral, just like a boy. Below image is Fei Fei starring in iD magazine December 2010.

Therefore, there’s no surprise that H&M chose her to be in their AW10 Christmas campaign. (below left) She looks so sweet and peaceful there together with DuJuan who is the very first true-international chinese model.

Liu Wen 刘雯 – Estee Lauder New 2011 Ad

Posted by Qing on December 7, 2010 | No comments

My favourite Chinese model Liu Wen has got many honor under her belt, first Asian model to walk Victoria’s Secret, first Chinese model within top 10 world model chart, and of course the very first Asian model for Estee Lauder. She explained a while ago about her relationship with Estee Lauder is like a lovers’ dating relationship, both got passion for each other and both getting to learn each other. This is quite a sweet way to describe. So all of us have been waiting for the ‘gossip’ of their first date and here, finally, comes the details out…first imageries of Liu Wen for Estee Lauder.

模界大姐大 刘雯 Liu Wen

Posted by Qing on September 9, 2010 | No comments

My favourite 2 oriental personalities in fashion world, one is everyone knows…Alexander Wang, and the other one is Liu Wen, whom I have introduced in previous post. Liu Wen is at the moment the number 1 model not only in China but the hottest oriental model. Here Grazia China had invited her as their cover girl and did a full interview with herself and her family and friends.

Must say, a good model should have a face easily transformed into any look, but at the same time has strong facial features without being flooded and buried under layers of make-ups and hairs. Liu Wen is exactly that type, so does Kate Moss and Cindy Crawford.

Here it says, Liu Wen is not just a famous model, she has become a true celebrity.

With her mum and dad… In the interview, her parents described her as a quiet teenage, shy but strong…

I really love this look…the hair, the eye-shadow and the cropped top…

Welcome Back – Amber Valletta

Posted by Qing on September 7, 2010 | No comments

Amber Valletta has always been one of my favourate models from 90s. She looks boyish with the super-wide forehead, however, she could look so womanly with her full lips. I’m pleased to see her acting in 2 AW2010 campaigns in UK Vogue September Issue.

One is with Jimmy Choo

Another is with Joseph

Have to admit that both companies are with that sharp, sexy and strong feminine styles and Amber is just so perfect for that sort of look. And this signature look of hers has barely changed since 90s. Here’re a couple of images from my early memory about Valletta. She looks clean and gentle in those classic Chanel Resorts.

Model Scene – Liu Wen 刘雯 is HOT!

Posted by Qing on April 12, 2010 | One comment

As I was doing a research on all oriental designers and models, my attention is getting more and more locked on this girl. Yes, I don’t want to have any fuss on this entry’s title and just want to make it clear that the hottest model in my mind at the moment is Liu Wen from China.

First time noticing her was from Alexander Wang’s Pre-Fall 2010 collection photos from Style.com. Then she appeared every single city during AW2010 fashion week and walked for over 70 shows, I start to like her more and more.

In 2009, Liu Wen became the first woman of East Asian descent to walk the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. And I only just recognized her recently in Alexander McQueen’s SS10 show ‘Plato’s Atlantis’.

I think a good model with strong feature would not be covered completely unrecognizable with tons of make-up and hairs. For example Kate Moss, no matter what look she’s been styled on, you could always tell ‘that’s her!’ and Liu Wen is no doubtfully same.

Personally really like this 60s China Red Guard look created for Alexander Wang’s SS10 campaign. She actually looks very sweet there.

She casually brings out the boyish sexiness.

…and could also be full of strength in this i-D editorial December 2009…

…but you can not label her for just being a tomboy…

…although she’s already really good at layering pieces and rocking the DMs.

Return of the Super Woman — Kristen McMenamy

Posted by Qing on March 15, 2010 | No comments

Powerful full lips, ginger red hair, dramatic body pose, that is Kristen McMenamy. I vividly remembered her from my early teenage time by flipping through Elle and my finger tips stopped at the Versace advert. There she stood and seemed shouting out—-’I am the 90s power women!!’

Even with the cutsey floral print in Prada’s campaign just before mid 90s, she still looks very powerful and womenly there. The young I used to think how perfect she looks there and dreamt about myself how I would want to look like her when grown up.

Lanvin invited her back last year for their campaign which is a real surprise to me as I couldn’t recognise her at all.

Until she had the offical catwalk return appreared on Viktor & Rolf AW2010 catwalk show just finished in Paris.

I know it’s absolutely crime to mention a lady’s age but being 43 and looking like this, she is a true Super Woman!
