Liu Wen

It looks like she’s in Paris at this moment… Big news after not traveling abroad for the past three years. Would be great to see her walk but think she’s in town for Chanel. :magic:


Anyhow, she’s been busy like usual and 2023 is off to a good start. Happy New Year!

Sorry. Thought she was there for fashion… must be something that required her to leave home and travel? Celebration? Shopping? British Vogue? A secret project? That’s people speculating.

It was a quick trip she already arrived back in China on Tuesday (she departed to Paris on 19th). :lol:

We knew she was going for fashion week (her two big suitcases) but didn’t know what for other than attending some shows. It just never occurs that she could close a Prada show (honestly, was hoping/anticipating seeing another Icon making an appearance given her close relationship with the brand and that she’s back working).

Nevertheless, that was a grand entrance after a runway drought—she proved time after time receiving more opening/closing slots. Major… curious to see what Paris brings!



#LiuWenClosed was wildly trending first at one point of time via Weibo:

Based on her work and photo feed the short answer is no. Went back to 2019 and she looked quite the same, more or less… but yeah, I do see the difference (protrusion) but don’t think much of it.

Seems it was a deliberate, business/partnership deal with Prada and Bottega given her Bazaar and T Magazine covers? Guess we should’ve seen that coming. Wonder what coordination they have for Paris then.

She looked impeccable at Bottega – so simple in her look yet fresh and confident. Effortlessly cool, stripped down and pretty. Gorgeous collection.



For the fun of it would be cool to see her at the following:

Saint Laurent – unlikely, but she did some work/promote the brand in the past; it’s a DMC show, would be curious to see where they cast her first

The Row – Brokaw may be her biggest supporter and thus far they’ve cast big names; if not, no worries

Isabel Marant – she fits their aesthetic and she’s familiar with the folks there; last month she did a promo for them too

Ludovic de Saint Sernin – would be interesting to see her in their collection; their Instagram acknowledge Liu Wen’s existence; another DMC show

Sacai – Lee always been a great admirer of Liu Wen, it’s a chance to cast her; she walked a couple times so not farfetched

Versace – hope they invite her to LA; few places where we get to see more pizzazz and attitude from Liu Wen, could go dark and sporty or glamour and sexy; it’s a DMC show; the Oscars are days after and although they don’t have to, what a way to highlight Asians in Hollywood too (don’t wanna go there, but has been a great year for Asians in cinema, cast the biggest names and go all out :magic:)

Valentino, Givenchy, and another Brokaw show is a possibility…


Well shouldn’t matter, whatever is fine. Closing Prada and BV is already huge, never happened. :flower:

Woah, this is a great start to PFW! Three DMC shows in one day, hope that means LA and translate to more things outside of shows…

Glad to see her walk Loewe after more than 10 years. Think this is her last Brokaw show for the season… the other shows aren’t in her favor IMO even though it’d be cool. But ehh she’s too big of a name for these houses.

Anyway this feels like 2018 but BETTER. Saturday could be a resting day for her (unlikely, but would be totally astonishing to revisit her Lee's McQueen days!).
