Hoping Valentino doesn't disappoint again... Last year they only had Yoon Young and Sijia (IIRC) in a fairly large cast.
 
Amazed at Sohyun for nabbing the closing spot at both Alexander Wang and Givenchy
 
only Yoon Young and Chunjie at Valentino... :rolleyes:

Hyunji closed John Galliano! :cool2:
 
As usual, Valentino was a huge disappointment. :ermm:

Not that there was any doubt, but Sora is @ Louis Vuitton

 
Fernanda Ly just posted an instagram story from the John F Kennedy airport.

I wonder if shes flying to Paris? I would love to see her back for Louis Vuitton.
 
Oh yeah. It will be great to see Fernanda!

Curious for Sacai tomorrow. I think for the past few seasons they've only cast Jing? But Jing isn't here so who will they get this time...
 
Hope so!

At the same time Fernanda was in London/Europe for work at least a couple time in the past weeks. And somewhere in the western part of the USA, can't remember.

Basically we should take this as a grain of salt. Wait until she gives us another hint = Paris. Then we can jump on it and hope that it's for that show! ^^




Michelle just ain't helping at all at Sacai, does she. Maybe Ting/Chunjie/Hyunji. One of them.




Called out Valentino on multiple occasions. So exhausted. It's not even worth it.

Now, we can start hyperventilating! ^_^:magic::lucky:

Is two good enough for the brand of Stella, and especially from Scully if he's still casting.

People will keep saying two is better than none. This is like a step backward in a sense, has been better. Could be just this season. (But why are Asians at the expense of it. Just curious.)

Looks like Cong, Chu and Sohyun will be at McQueen. Anyone else?



And that probably explained why Sijia wasn't at Valli. Michelle is the new CD over Bitton this season. After all one could tell by the number of Asian there = 5. Good cast nevertheless.


So yeah no Sijia the past couple days...

Hopefully Sijia and Hoyeon can show up in Miu Miu.
Wonder if Hoyeon can do a repeat of the big 3 finish :mrgreen:


Hopefully a couple more asians turn up at McQueen.

Curious which asian girl has booked the most shows in Paris. I'd guess its between Yoon Young, Hyunji, and Chu.

5 Asian girls are within the top 10 walkers of the season so far!
I hope Fernanda pops up at LV.
 
Only Chunjie at Sacai :rolleyes:

I hope one day one of the top Asian walkers will be a South Asian (instead of a Korean or Chinese or Japanese). There's still a big lack of diversity within this "Asian" denomination.
 
So I think McQueen had:
Chunjie
Cong
Chu
Sohyun
Wangy
Yoon Young

Everything gorgeous at McQueen. Glad there were six to experience this collection! It's been a while for a cast as this. Props to Jess (and at Balmain).

Think it's possible (though I fear that she may not walk LV - just because she didn't walk any Brokaw's shows thus far, doesn't mean she won't... but I feel the collection won't be for her? Hopefully wrong!).

Very true. But does the fashion industry and the folks within that sector even realise, care or even recognise that. Some progress in the past year or so, yes.

Would also add models from SE Asia too. If they have that 'it factor' like any top models then why couldn't they make it? Not sure how to put it but think we all know a reason or two why they can't unfortunately.

At the end of the day everyone won't be represented/pleased with what fashion churn out, whether it's models, celebs on covers, body imagery, the dialogue in fashion, beauty standards, etc. So guess we have to pick our battles, but we can change the scene and the future if we want to. Takes time, real effort and collectively.
