Liu Wen

Forums New posts
People on Weibo said Liu Wen would be in a new Burberry campaign (a la last season’s Outerwear). Or was it supposed to be the Anniversary campaign? Maybe it’s an entirely diff thing to be released later for the summer.


Look like Brokaw cast LW for both JWA and Chemena debuts, strategically. Hope her presence at Dior won’t be relegated to just that one time. Not a whole lot of veterans in the FW26 cast anyway. May Dior won’t be like LV (or Chiuri’s, not against newcomers, but too much is too much and oversaturated), more flexibility at Dior for sure, but who knows, maybe more consistency although only their third show.

According to MDC she did not walk TF or Row meaning she should walk Celine and Miu Miu.

Surprised no shows. Even Schiaparelli didn’t have the usual cameos of OG/Supers (interesting/weird, actually). Gonna pretend that she was shooting something yesterday…

:unsure:
Guess it's true(?). She's done for the season. She may have flown back/landed in China already. Had to be another job or obligation of some kind.

Didn't want to believe it but when she posted on IG and didn't walk Givenchy, that pretty much confirmed the speculation (and hence lack of shows).

If she's done done that'd also explain why her entourage didn't travel with her this season. Probably.

Oh well. Think she won't return to Paris knowing she's booked next week locally too.

She was supposed to fly back to China after walking Gucci according to some social media users, which means BV was not in the initial plan. It was said that around that day reasons unknown delayed the departure till this week, and then the BV invitation was finalized at the last minute. Maybe PFW was also not in the plan to begin with.

Wow, thanks for the context.

One of the things that is certain and quite different from any season and past years, is that her crew (agent, assistant, photog, and beauty team from China) didn't travel along. Usually a couple or the group are present in some capacity.

The Gucci scenario sounds legit - doing three shows or just Prada & Gucci and then heads back home. In and out of MFW. Which makes total sense of not needing her entourage (sad, we might not get a bts vlog).


Why would it take another week to get to her intended destination? Were dates not available? Tons of reasons and theories but whatever not our business, glad she was able to get that sort out.

Happy she took advantage and did PFW.


Wonder what she was supposed to be doing originally. L'Oreal? Olay? Filming a commercial gig or TV stint? Shooting for a Chinese mag? Maybe a family matter?

Hope it's all well.

New - she's in Prada Act ll with Jordan Wolfson


Nearly 12 years she's back on Numero China :o:magic:

Also think it was supposed to be Numero and not Wallpaper, as previously rumored.

Liu Wen: A Pop Art-Inspired Spring Editorial

An Old Friend, A New Beginning.

For the Spring 2026 issue of Numéro China, we once again welcome our inaugural cover model, Liu Wen.

A familiar face, a fresh interpretation.
The dawn of spring, the start of the season.

Def. Spring inspired, with all the pastels. And it’s always great to see such a close up of her lovely face. Really an incredible make up shot!
 
Would have preferred the Numero preview as the official cover. IMO, it's more aligned with the art theme and instantly eye catching. Also, it's distinct and a throwback among the many Liu Wen covers in my collection. But that's just me.

Chanel was the main sponsor/advertiser for Numero even the beauty shots. She needs to be in a new Chanel beauty ad (like lipstick at least, it has been years). Unless, I suspect her contract has expired or something changed… noticed like a couple years ago.


She is rumored for a Vogue China cover alongside other women. True?


Another Magazine will launch in China and not sure if Liu Wen will be their first choice but it’s likely we will see her there too (the powerhouse supports her via Chinese T and Wallpaper). She’s very familiar with Dan Cui too.

Still cannot believe she has not been on V China yet(!!!). Does someone have a vendetta against LW?

Just a thought:

Not trying to advocate another Vogue US cover for Liu Wen, though if we look at the pattern when she was on the magazine, it was a three year gap between each cover. It's 2026, three years later.

March 2017 - first cover
April 2020 - second cover
May 2023 - third cover
? 2026 – fourth cover

Could she be on American Vogue this year?

With Malle saying her Vogue would be like collectibles and having themes, just thought if and when they do a model’s theme, whether it's the typical Wintour covers of the past, or something different (could you imagine if it were MG but solo covers), would Wen be cast for another cover?

Personally think she does not need a VUS cover, however if she were in her 50s and they were to gather icons, trailblazers and industry legends then it’d be a definitive yes. That would be worth collecting for models and being her fourth cover. Wishful thinking.

For the next couple years, if Liu Wen wants it or care, a Vogue UK cover should be the primary focus. She will be a BIFA and make history. @thesocietynyc @elitemodelworld @cgnewyork @georgesperos @mirandacantacuzene @chiomannadi @britishvogue @condenast @vickolas #AnnaWintour :magic::lucky::crossedfingers:

Anyway, 2026 cover or not, here to specially highlight her second home at US Vogue:
