+ mini article...

She has defined a new age of fashion and been dubbed “China’s first-ever supermodel”, meet Liu Wen – Stylist’s incredible cover star.

Talking to Liu Wen on the set at the cover shoot for Stylist’s S/S 2015 fashion issue, you’d be forgiven for forgetting that you’re in the presence of one of fashion’s most influential people. Dressed in jeans and a Uniqlo top, she’s smiling and patient as the team get to work. But Wen is, in fact, the face of a global revolution.

Thanks to China’s consumer market now dictating how the industry works, Wen has become the face of a brand new era. In 2014, she was named as the world’s fifth highest-paid model by Forbes - the first Asian model to ever appear on the list. Wen also became the first Asian face of Estee Lauder in 2010 and is considered one of the world’s leading models on social media – she has nearly 9million followers on Weibo (the Chinese version of Twitter) alone.

Wen’s career, which began accidentally when she entered a modeling competition in her native Hunan province aged 17 in order to win a computer, consumes her life. When she arrived in New York aged 20, the stylists backstage helped her to pick up the new language: “I was very shy but everyone smiled at me and chatted so I learnt the words from them.” She went on to make her debut at Burberry’s February 2008 show – two years later she appeared over 70 ready-to-wear shows (making her that season’s second most booked model).

On Stylist’s shoot, it’s fascinating to watch Wen work. She quickly transforms from a kind, unassuming girl to a rock goddess in waiting. Then, once the makeup is removed and the jewellery reluctantly put away (“I’ve never seen glamorous tomboy rings like these,” she says), Wen says goodbye to every single person in the studio, before heading off to tweet about the day’s events. Just 9million plus people are listening...

This is what I’m talking about. Was really excited about this editorial, actually was sold on the cover itself with her intensity. I appreciate the creative team when they want to do/did something different with Liu than what we’ve seen before or the usual pretty styling. I really like the shaggy hair on Liu!

Personally, this is quite different and I’m enjoying this very much, we get to see Liu’s range and modeling skills - though it could’ve been more dynamic and more attitude or oomph in emotion would’ve been better IMO. Only complaint would be the gray shots – they’re the least favorites, except the one where Liu is in motion... This whole editorial would’ve been more awesome if this was shot on location or had a theme set – I mean, you have Liu working the 70s.

Still, j’adore this side of Liu!


And, very glad that Liu is on their cover and it’s the fashion issue. That’s great. That is where Liu’s face should belong. Great job Storm MM.

She's perfect in all the photos but the one with the short hair is amazing !

I swear, I was thinking the other day whether Liu should go for a change. I was imagining her with shorter hair length and thought maybe it wouldn't be a good idea... However, seeing this shot with her hair this short – I must say, I’m quite sold. Perhaps it’s the styling that makes me incline to like it. Actually, I think it’s the whole look. Sleek, sexy, contemporary and a tad dangerous – somehow AEonflux came to mind. Well not really, but somehow it did LOL. Would be cool seeing Liu strutting the streets of NYC wearing something like this. I also find the look quite futuristic in a sense...

Imagine Liu 'reinvented' herself starting off with a pixie? I mean, I would like Liu to take her tomboy self and take it up a notch, no? Yeah I know short hair doesn't equate tomboy, but I just think this contrast from her usual sweet, friendly and dimple smiles to a more edgy, interesting and intimidating Liu - would be a cool change, no? And see whether this would do Liu any good. Maybe not but introducing herself to a new audience, I guess.

Anyway, Liu’s face is serving it! (I swear, I feel as if I could imagine Liu in some sci-fi action movie wearing and styled like this. Just add some sexy gloves and a laser gun and/or pretty blades and Liu would be an ultra chic crusader fending off herself. IDK, I’m fascinated with this.)

It really brings out her angles (not that she needs it)

Very similar to the 'Boobs' editorial from LOVE. Actually, I thought Liu's shots were outtakes and are being used for L'Officiel SP.... And my excitement was for only girl editorial but that isn't the case. Still, she has her solo shots and she's working with Klein more - that's enough. And did Steven just said that Liu's one of his muses? (Oh yeah, Liu's name is front n' center and the biggest...)


Interesting that Liu wants to study at Yale. Wonder what she will study/pursue (other than fashion related) if she were to enroll there.

And can Ghesquiere give Liu a campaign already? Her continuous professing for Nicholas is quite the hint for him to give the green light...
