Liu Wen

Spoiler

Apparently the actresses shot the VC20 cover earlier this week but interestingly, there’s no buzz around the models who are supposedly a part of. There’s been lists of model names for the past few weeks but all were INCONSISTENT. No official lineup that is known or leaked (to my knowledge and from the insiders that are on social media). A little worrisome. Hopefully there are some models.

Not to dwell too much on this but some are saying it’s “okay” for Liu Wen to decline VC20. *If true. As if she’s too good to be in MG covers (a valid point, when was the last time she was in a model’s MG Chinese cover?). Or her stature has extended beyond VC and on to better things a la VUS, VF, and potentially VUK… srsly, those were their spicy words.

Anyway not liking how VC has been delaying/changed their cover releases further out than its Western counterparts. Supposedly, we shall see the cover(s) preview soon.

Wonder if it’s by Nick Yang but elevated.

She’s either on W China or Marie Claire for Sept. Most say it’s the latter.

Most of those bolded brands’ campaigns are released/known, and it’s starting to look slim, like their cast doesn’t have space for more models – basically not sure where Liu Wen would be amongst those known casts, as more images/info are revealed one after another.

We now know that Givenchy is not OG. It’s possible she could get that, perhaps the strongest chance. People are thinking it’s Burberry but who knows seems unlikely to see her back to back. Not happening, but it would be cool if Liu Wen, Lina and Sora got Tom Ford as the Asian group and a trio of black models. Just a thought. Alaia sounds wonderful. CK and their relaunch with no visibility in ads??, not like Liu Wen will get cast but no campaign for her first collection, will they?… Could it be thrice for Saint Laurent WINTER. Maybe it’s a small brand.

Think the key word was ‘endorsement.’ Wonder if they meant a fashion campaign where she has an active role repping the brand or a brand deal. Maybe she got Chopard(?). A new spokesmodel/contract of some sort.

They made it out as if it was a fashion campaign tho. Regardless, five campaigns for FW25 already sound insane. Surely we’ll know soon whatever that may be.

She’ll indeed be on W China.

And it’ll be her first festivities among local fashion mags – it’s been years since she attended one, tonight!
