Asian Faces In High Fashion

[mikose]

Kohei Takabatake is the first Asian male model who is top walker of season. I think he also have most show in one season.

^^ Plus Dipti Sharma = 9 Asian

Surprised Jing's not there, but we can't have everything. Other girls get a chance.


Ting Chen is already in London, guess Bitton won't bring her to MJ - but definitely her London shows, I believe.


Kennah must be there for MJ... right?


Heejung was preoccupied with a shoot, hence incline to believe the no-shows. Maybe MJ!

Heejung apparently said last night on IG live that shes not going to be at the Marc Jacobs show.

 

[Prymasquous]

^ Okay. One less Asian. Maybe there will be a surprise or two (plus the usual).


To continue, it would've been a treat to see the greats like Ai, Hye Park, Du Juan, Ujjwala and Han Hye Jin whom all walked Kors in their heyday. Guess maybe nobody wants to contact them, or worse, recall them... Sui sounds more feasible, right, John.


ZERO at Vivienne Hu but NINE at Vivienne Tam, and closed!

Who was the asian model who closed the Marc show?
besides that, I think EZ was at the show.

any others?

 

[bluebanter]

Sorry for double posting, but Songhwa Oh closed the show

 

[Cute]

I think I saw Sijia.

 

[bluebanter]

I am still quite disappointed in Cong He's bookings this season. Particularly not showing up in Coach and Calvin Klein, since Brokaw has been a big supporter of hers these past few seasons.

I think Yoon Young really blossomed this season. Shes always done well, but first bookings of Coach and Calvin Klein really elevated her show list.

As usual, Sora Choi and Jing Wen continue to dominate. Sora might have been the top walker of New York had she not taken the exclusive.

Really interested in seeing where Chunjie goes. Opening Alexander Wang and a slot at Calvin Klein makes her prospects in Milan and Paris interesting.

 

[Prymasquous]

Idk. I'm all over the place this season. There were gains and losses to a range for the girls participated. It's indeed a tough time.


It wasn't that bad for Cong but she indeed loss more than usual, so will be particularly weary about Cong's run in Europe. Who knows. It may not have the same effect oversea. See what happen.

Guess Kiko did okay, perhaps Europe will be the place for her and Chaoyu, after their amazing debut/clutch of shows.

Not sure why Junli is semi-exclusive if AWang is all she's gonna walk for. Did she go to castings afterward/or was she sure to walk another show? Should've been exclusive. Hope Del Moro/Brokaw will have her back in Europe if she's going to walk.

Songhwa sure made new friends. She did good. Are we going to see more of her?

And agreed about Chunjie, think she's the one to watch as well! Exciting.



Even though all NY shows aren't posted yet, I'm pretty sure we've missed out quite a bunch. There were many lookbooks instead of actual runway shows, and some shows have disappeared off the radar, like onto another city and whatnot. I could tell we have less Asian girls walking this season so far - I'm confident about that. Of those "absent" shows we loss several Asian models subsequently.

It seems as though Jing is not walking the rest of fashion week

 

[Prymasquous]

^ If she's not walking and if true that it's visa (sick doesn't make sense), then this is a good opportunity for newbies to shine, to be honest.

Jing's been on TOP for a few years now so it'd be hard to not see her. Had hope for her in Europe but gonna have to wait SS19!




NY is complete from the big three sites. After fashion month is over, will make a last round of review (especially the smaller show/presentations).
