fwdChic Report has barely checked into the Delano for the Chanel Cruise extravaganza, and already, rumors are flying. First up: We hear Naomi Campbell’s en route to the Raleigh, where her clothes are already awaiting and labeled. Could it be? We certainly hope so. After all, models are flying in from as far as Shanghai to trot around Karl’s runway tomorrow night. And the diviner than divine Sasha was on our flight from Newark! It’s gearing up to be, in a word, serious. Stay tuned, chicsters…
Liu Wen, a competitor who failed in a national model contest, now appears as cover girl in almost every famous fashion magazine including Vogue, Elle, Cosmo, Marie Claire, Madam Figaro and Rayli. The little-eyed girl has stormed the fashion circle like a whirl-wind and has become one of the hottest models in China.
Although she is not been widely known by the public, everyone is deeply impressed by her kind and unique face, which also won popularity with many magazines' fashion editors within half a year. As a result, she has frequently appeared in various fashion shows while her photograph has featured on the front cover of many fashion titles. Flying from Beijing to Shanghai, from Hong Kong to Spain, she travels all the time, spending most of the time on flights every month. Her instant popularity through photographs has made her like a shining star of the fashion circle, with her rank swelling and her worth soaring in a short time.
Not having amazing beauty, the unpretentious girl surprises the fashion observers by her pure and individual charm. Her young age, tall and slim shape, facial features embodying the vivid characteristics of a fashion model.
Liu was born in Yongzhou, Hunan province, which is famous for fish and rice as well as beautiful girls. The big break in her career came when she attended the New Silk Road World Model Contest in the summer of 2005. As a tall and beautiful tourist guide, she took part in the model contest for the purpose of winning money to buy a laptop computer. However, such a simple idea changed her life. Without any experience in modeling work, she successfully realized her dream and unexpectedly won the champion of Hunan region at the 2005 New Silk Road World Model Contest. Her stellar modeling career began from there.
"When I first saw Liu, I felt that she was natural and pure, just like clear fountain of water. Although not talkative, she communicated with judges through meaningful eye-contact," said Wang Hongmin, the art director of the New Silk Road model company.
What a brand needs is not a beautiful face, but one that can express the brand fully. That is why she is favored by so many designers, photographers, makeup artists and model directors, who can create more works of different styles through her plain image. Liu expresses the diverse fashion by her simple and flexible beauty.
