Asian Faces In High Fashion

[dfwn2n]

Is Jing Wen an exclusive for Prada because she finally showed up on the runway?

Im glad Sora consistently books Versace, but I wish Donatella would have more than just 2 asian models in her shows.

So many Asian models at Missoni. I’m hoping Céline will feature not just token Asian girls in Paris.

Really love Youn Bomi's face, and hope she can have some longevity. Impressive that she opened Simone Rocha and Missoni, considering how rare it is for Asians to open or close shows.

Sora is still slaying so hard. Hyunji is also doing fantastic!

I posted this pic on Instagram and tagged Anthony Vaccarello. He’s been untagging me every time. I guess he doesn’t like to get called out and being publicly shamed. We will see how he will change the line up for the upcoming show.

I guess this may have worked seeing as at least Sora and Hyunji were added to the lineup! Possibly more Asian models but I didn't catch the full livestream.

^ Sora had two outfits, Chiharu, Hyunji, and a newface(?) that I couldn't identify were at SL.

Four models is a vast improvement over just Chiharu.

The newface is Yebeen Seol with Elite.

He did block me on Instagram. If you’re not proud of your action then don’t do it.

Did he really think we’re all blind and stupid? Asians need to stop supporting his a$$.

I’m not going to take credit for the improvement in casting. I just hope my action will inspire more people to use the power of social media to raise awareness. One person CAN make a difference.

Isabel Marant has 4 models this time. An improvement.

Hedi had twice as many asian women as I expected! 2!

Oh wait sorry. You said women. Yes 2

 

[bluebanter]

Lets see how many asians Valentino hires

I believe both Couture and FW 18 had 2.

Balenciaga had a record Asian models. If only this can be the norm.

Lina Zhang at Balenciaga and Akris. Nice to see her back on the runway

This season didn’t seem as strong as the last one for Asian models. Most of the recent newcomers all but disappeared. Chunjie and Jia Li has decent showings. But Ting Chen. Xie Chaoyu, etc.. all were nowhere to be found.

But a big congrats to Sora Choi and Hyunji Shin for dominating and appearing at all the major shows like CK, Prada, LV, Fendi, etc. And both have been around since 2015 and 2016 respectively. Yoon Young also did amazing. And it was nice to see Jing Wen make a few select appearances at Prada, Chloe, Vuitton. Cong He slowed down a bit but still did well.

Why did Fei fei disappear in Paris?

Is this a sign these two are VS Angels?

Is this a sign these two are VS Angels?

They were announced as "China Spokesmodels" for VS a couple weeks ago. I mean, I would love to see them as Angels, but this could also just be them working as spokesmodels with Sara.
