Asian Faces In High Fashion

[Prymasquous]

10 Asian at Balmain. Soojoo and Ming both have two looks.


Can't recall, is this a new record for Balmain?






We're halfway through Paris. Anyone know who hasn't shown up yet (and that are in town)?

 

[Cute]

Kennah ( probably Balenciaga) and Sora (LV).

 

[Prymasquous]

^ Those two for sure.



And guess no EZ this season? Or maybe next week w/ Bitton and PDM shows...


So many great girls, not enough spaces. Wonder if Ziwei and Junli would show up even now. Maybe not.


And thought He Jing would be somewhere already.

I feel like Cong and Hoyeon are not doing nearly as well in Paris as they have in the past.

Hyun Ji and Chu are both doing great. Also surprised Kiko is doing not so well this season.

 

[mathiaskatz]

Vanessa Seward only had Chiharu.

Heejung, Yoonyoung, and Sohyun are doing pretty well.

I think EZ's look isn't accepted well in Europe.

Yeah what is going on with Kiko? Is she a one season wonder? She booked three big campaigns, I was hoping that would accelerate her bookings. Catwalkers need so much luck not just looks.

Hoyeons Chanel beauty ad was downgraded to an editorial on models.com. But she is in the GAP S/S 18 Campaign

 

[Prymasquous]

Agreed. Would also add Jiali & Chunjie too, both are reigning them shows in as newbies.



Same quota at Haider Ackermann. Three. Gotta say Chu really has a bond with the brand or/and the folks there. She's their gal.




Decent at Altuzarra, Hyunji at it agin! And is 5 Michelle's favourite number?



No Saffron this season too. She's in Mexico.

Hyunji has been doing well under the radar each season, but now shes really coming out full force.
Can't wait to see what else she does.

 

[guimon]

MTE! ^ So happy for Hyun Ji. Debuting @ Dior, Chloe, Altuzarra and Balmain in her 6th season!

She also did Haider Ackermann earlier today.

Was worried there for a sec at Hermes. Thank goodness! Not too bad.


So unexpected to see Chu at Elie Saab! Believe this is her first.






Apparently EZ is in Paris. She's gotta be there for something.


He Jing is too. Probably for Givenchy.


And Siqi. Sounds depressing...

 

[Cute]

I wonder if we'll see Leah Chen or if she's still in China.

 

[Prymasquous]

^ Don't think so. She's one of those cases. We'll have to wait for more later.

She's been travelling to Europe and USA for the past months for work and whatnot. Likely she's prepping and building her career. And not yet signed internationally IIRC.

Based on the pic order on nowfashion, Sohyun closed Givenchy? That's two straight Givenchy shows she opened/closed! Good for her. :cool2:

 

[Prymasquous]

^ Yes, she did! We don't often see this.


Mixed feelings at Givenchy. Same quota. Okay.








So no EZ at Balenciaga. She's probably there for Miu Miu then? IDK anymore.

And interestingly the usual Manami, Mimi Jung and Radhika aren't there. Perhaps didn't fit, understandably. But cool to see Qin Lei!

Shujing could've been there too.
