Du Juan

[Faith Akiyama]

^Yes, we just confirmed it in the FW06 thread It's a very intriguing group for LV this upcoming season:

Louis Vuitton-Naomi Campbell/1mgmt, Kate Moss/IMG, Daria Werbowy/IMG, Stella Tenant/DNA, Malgosia Bela/Next, Christina Kruse/DNA, Du Juan/IMG, Missy Rayder/DNA, Raquel Zimmerman/DNA
-Ph. Mert and Marcus Piggott

Whew, good thing the deal with Lindsay Lohan fell through...

As much as I like her, she doesn't fit in with the rest in my opinion. She's no super. Ai Tominaga would fit in more in my opinion.

^I do wonder what Marc has in mind for this...

At least she's more well known than Christina Kruse, though -- she really came out of nowhere

Christina Kruse is 30 or around that age, she has been around since 95/96, was big back in her day.....

Veryyy interesting.

You could say its a comeback, like Malgosia Bela

 

[Faith Akiyama]

^That's true, I guess, but I've definitely heard of Malgosia before, at least

I hope Du gets an only girl shot, though it's doubtful next to all these big names...B) (Or can she pull off a Hilary/Balenciaga SS06?)

 

[dizzytacks]

i am soooo excited for her, all these girls are massive, the best is yet to come!

 

[dizzytacks]

i can't contain my excitement for her, tommorow i will celebrate!!!!haha

 

[ericyoung1111]

boys and girls, i have another big big big big big news!!! our DuJuan get YSL !!! will shooting at Paris!!! oh , i am so....!!!!

 

[oxymoron]

Wow!!!!! YSL and LV.

 

[ericyoung1111]

yes, now,she is a big name.haha

 

[funkalicious]

Wow! She's getting big jobs!

 

[Mr-Dale]

She is doing fantastic! YSL and LV that is huge I am so happy our girl is gonna get big

 

[juliadawn]

she is 23 or 24 years old now, since she is 19 back 2002, now is 2006, she is very old campare with others.

and

...... I am still not getting her... Big brands pick her just cuz she represents the huge market in Mainland China... I will not just be crazy about her like many other ppl(tongbao,chinese), and they like her just because she is also chinese. she must has something inside her not only be lucky to get some ads or shows, she is still very plain in ads/shows. considering her age, shouldnt she be much much better in shooting?

 

[mlsnts]

Yay I'm so excited for her! She's getting the big jobs.

Some people say that she has no expression ( or wears the same expression ) in all of her shoots. I actually like that 'expresionless-ness' of hers.. I know it can be seen as incompetent though.

 

[J'ador-DioR]

OMG... ....She is amongst the supermodels at LV. I knew this girl would be big this campaign season. If she gets YSL aswell I think I might faint

 

[Faith Akiyama]

I'm SO excited for her, you have no idea

 

[ShanaLucas]

boys and girls, i have another big big big big big news!!! our DuJuan get YSL !!! will shooting at Paris!!! oh , i am so....!!!!

Thank you Eric for the wonderful news. Not only is this good news for Du, but good news for fashion in general. Just when I'm getting discouraged over the state of fashion ads, it's news like this that picks me up again. The Fall/Winter campaigns are sounding even more exciting with Du!

 

[ericyoung1111]

you right!

 

[Faith Akiyama]

Du's doing LV for sure now (Not that I didn't believe you eric! )

From FWD:

for the fall/winter Louis Vuitton campaign—which just wrapped at Pier 59 after a two-day shoot with photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot—Jacobs cast a superstar (Naomi Campbell), the current reigning queen (Daria Werbowy), and the next big Asian supermodel (Du Juan).

 

[J'ador-DioR]

She probably killed it . I'm dying to see that campaign
