Liu Wen

That Prada ad looks like the Milan trip back in May. Patti Bussa should be involved. And this might be the October announcement… or there’s more. :unsure:

Rumored to be on Harper’s Bazaar China October

Apparently she’s been in France. :woot:


Would it be too early for PFW fittings?

Some are already jumping the gun ~wishing~ she’s there shooting something big like a Vogue cover or SS26 campaign.

Regardless, it must be true (she’s active online) and seems promising.

Got more interesting. Was France simply a stop in her flight route, perhaps? Because she was in Lisbon for a day(?), and now back to France.

It was like this too when she went to Lanzarote and other similar trips…

Rimowa part 2? Think this could be work for Dazzle/Erdos. Maybe.


Anyway, she’s usually tight lips and not as transparent on her whereabouts/location (unless if you know, you know), so it’s nice to tag along when she feels it’s okay and in a position to share. 🙏

She has already returned home (the following images were a diff time).


Wouldn’t be surprised if she skips Milan (people panicked once they learned she went straight home).

Particularly this season the top Chinese models aren’t walking and giving way for the new generation, and personally that’s very good/okay with that. Liu Wen will be fine not walking the Italian brands – as long she’s in their campaigns and getting paid big bucks.

Who knows. What is Elite Milano’s strategy…

Don’t want to revisit this topic again but in a new interview, here’s what Rocco said about Liu Wen and VC20:

“…Liu Wen had previously agreed to shoot with another company in the same month.”

Disclaimer: I don’t know anything, however Diliraba was on both Vogue China and Harper’s Bazaar China SEPTEMBER ISSUES – perhaps her situation is different from Liu Wen. So maybe this has something more to do with Conde Nast/CPP against(?) MC Style, the publisher of Marie Claire China and W Magazine China.

If VC really wanted her then they should’ve asked/reserved her in advance (like Jan 2025 when I brought it up), because we learned she’d be on MC like late spring IIRC – presumably and ultimately that’s where Liu Wen had agreed to be on MC (and W too!)).

There are other theories, rumours and gossip. Though I digress. Time to move on (and people should too – or advocate Wen for Sept 2026, if they not happy).



Apparently another set of Burberry ad images has rolled out. Perhaps Liu Wen is in this batch… :magic:

Generally, love a good surprise and having no knowledge if she’d walk but PFW SS26 is too important to rely on livestream and a hunch. Luckily some kind souls gave us a heads up. Departed for Paris. ^_^

Her early final SS26 showlist prediction:

Saint Laurent
Dior
Tom Ford
The Row*
Schiaparelli
Givenchy
Alaia*
Chanel

*she’s likely to walk The Row but I’d like to see her do more Alaia shows – interchangeable with these two
 
I wonder if Demna partly didn’t show SS26 because of its casting? Do we know if PG is still contracted(?) to do Gucci’s casting until a new CD (Echt & co.) comes in/is appointed by Demna himself. Maybe he’s waiting for FW26 with his preferred cast, too.

And don’t think this is too early or unreasonable but hope to see them bring Liu Wen back to Gucci’s runway next year. Elite should have that lock in/negotiated. Also helps is the fact Kering/Gucci still has visibility across China with their association with Liu Wen. She’s advertising them quite successfully. I’d think so, with this ongoing partnership/selective brand.

Would be interesting if we see her in Gucci comes 2026 magazine covers. :lucky:


She’s part of Giorgio Armani’s 50th Anniversary campaign:
