Did she really land in LA or was she taking off.
Maybe it’s for YSL…
I think there is a possible conflict of interest between her ubras contract and VS.Never mind. Think she probably flew to Shanghai (or locally) from post #9467.
While it’s a bit soon/futile to even bring this up but with the news that VS is coming back with its original runway, it just got me thinking about Liu Wen… and all I can say is, heck no.
Following what I said earlier about the direction her career has headed, it’s really not a good idea to go back to VS (even though the lingerie giant played a somewhat significant part in her stardom). She already had her wings, she did many shows (let others have the spotlight, spread the love), had a great time, let that chapter be something of the past. Let’s not go down that route when her high fashion career is ascending to heavenly heights than ever.
To echo a member here with a comment along the lines of ‘stuck doing commercial jobs when she ought to be doing high fashion’ – yes, no more e-commerce for Next UK, H&M and catalog work for Esprit and Madewell. Nothing wrong with that in itself. But we were talking about Liu Wen and the career that she should’ve had sooner. This is more nuanced than I’m presenting here, but that is another day if we wanna go deeper. Anyway, if one has to choose, best believe I/we would want her career as it is now rather than the “commercialized” LW doing less high fashion. She’s come too far to not seize this moment(um) and go full throttle on this path until the industry tells her to take a break and come back another time.
Hopefully I’m not framing VS = commercial = less prestige = less worthy…. We know that’s not true. Sometimes for some models who are at a certain stage in life and career, VS and HIGH FASHION aren’t always the best of friends, so to speak. No, she shouldn't do both right now (in theory, she could).
It’s still months out but we know decisions are made months in advance. Surely they already know and have more faith in them now, so may her team see VS is something not to chase (or, as if Wen were ever in the conversation or considering).
