Leslie Kee's Super Asians
Singaporean fashion photographer Leslie Kee searches for the origins of Asian dynamism by interviewing and photographing a Chinese fashion model, a Filipino boxer and a Thai movie director.
Liu Wen is said to be the best Asian model today. Born in Yongzhou, Hunan in 1988, her career started at the age of seventeen when she entered a model contest in China. In 2008, shortly after she signed a contract with an agency in Paris, Liu appeared on the runways of famous maisons and became a face of a cosmetics brand. 180 centimeter or 5 ft 11 in height is rather undistinguished as a model but she walked more than seventy shows for 2011 autumn-winter collections. No doubt she is one of the top models. For the program, a photo session and interview was filmed at the model agency in New York where she belongs.
