Top Chinese model Liu Wen is new Victoria's Secret Angel


New York - Chinese top model Liu Wen became the first Asian to appear on the annual Victoria's Secret fashion show on Thursday.
Liu, 21, joined the lingerie label's five new 'Angels', including high-profile American model Chanel Iman, on the New York runway. 'Angel' is a term reserved for top models.
The other new Angels are Emanuela de Paula, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Lindsay Ellingson and Candice Swanepoel.
The 1.79-m Liu, from China's Hunan province, started modelling after competing in the New Silk Road World Model contest in 2005.
She did not win but designers Karl Lagerfeld and Jean Paul Gaultier fell for her high cheek bones and began working with her, according to fashion website modelinia.com.
She went on to appear on international runways for Chanel, Gaultier and Hermes, and has been featured in ad campaigns this spring for ck one, DKNY, Benetton, Diane von Furstenberg and Barney's New York.
On Thursday, supermodel Heidi Klum was the audience favourite, drawing applause as the show's host in her purple corset covered with a half gown with poufs of tulle.
Her figure is super-slim even though she gave birth to a daughter, her fourth child, just five weeks ago.
Musical guest The Black Eyed Peas - especially member Fergie, who wore a black, jewelled bodysuit - was another crowd-pleaser.
Former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover girl Marisa Miller wore a US$3-million (S$4.2-million), diamond-encrusted bra.
The overall collection did not seem as skimpy though Australia's Miranda Kerr wore an itsy-bitsy black-thong ensemble that might be edited out of the show to be televised on CBS on Dec 1.
 
oh also I can't remember this :)

Model Wall: Liu Wen



In tribute to the wall of model cards in Vogue Bookings Editor Valerie Boster’s office, we’re going to start introducing Vogue.com readers to the girls who turn up at the magazine to meet with Boster and other editors. Keep checking back for more of fashion’s up-and-comers. We grabbed this bright, young face in the halls of Vogue after she stopped in. “I’ve been watching her over the past two seasons,” Boster says (Wen walked in a whopping 30 shows during fall/winter ’09 New York fashion week), “and she’s really growing as a model. Plus, she has great style.”

Age: 21
Provenance: China
What she’s wearing:
Mango cardigan
Shanghai Tang top
Topshop jeans
Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars.

I didn't know she had a blog, it's really cute. The title of her latest entry about VSFS is "I'm a dangerous 'angel'", but I don't think they would make her an actual angel just yet.
 
With all the media attention about Liu at VS, I wouldn't be surprised if she became Angel down the road. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. For her it would be great financially, but I tend to lose interest in models once they go the commercial route.
 
VS really should have had her in at least two looks. The first Asian model!!! Come on!!!!!! ;)

She'll be back for next year though, just because she did so well, and she's gotten a great reaction from it. Or at least, I hope she'll be back for next year!

Shes got a great sense of humour jacobs :lol::heart: The press are saying shes a new angel but .. they say everyones the new angel.. :ninja:

I think she has a fantastic body btw , she may be 'skinny' and not 'busty' but her body is perfection IMO. Its long , lean and not scarily emaciated. Plus she does have a little bit of a bust .... :p
