Liu Wen

[Incanus]

Spoiler

^ That sounds logical (and was Xin Zhilei not available? Shock she wasn't there albeit relatively new to Chanel). Liu Wen indeed has dual roles, thankfully she can do either. Also, if she knew her partner was gonna be there, think she’d opt to watch too. No, seriously, Wen is the type to get all enamored and intrigued by the set alone (like a museum), so it's not that far-fetched that she’d sit out and be engrossed in Matthieu’s universe and interpretation, if offered to walk. However the cast swayed more of a fresh set of models too… Next time!

At least she walked Miu Miu. It was the hair. Glad to see something different (wanna see full blown bombshell, runway somewhere).

Yet another fantastic season. May she get some rest and game for SS26 campaigns.

In an after-show interview by Tianwei Zhang, he asked her willingness to walk for Chanel next season, and Wen said she'd like to be on the runway this time actually, but was still honored to be invited. So maybe both of the PR management (few of Chinese ambassador appearances, a star couple attending the show) and the casting strategy (considering Liu, Lulu, Kendall, Mica, Julia, Eva all off the runway) did. Next time definitely!
