Mo Wandan

[Pinky*]

ok but does anyone remember a miss hong kong that looks -just- like her?? i'm talking like a million years ago..

maybe they're related..

^ Hmmm...there are only 2 I can think of that kind of resembles Wandan:
Rowena Lam and Mok Hoi-Yan.

Ah, I see why angel222 keeps going to Du's thread to bash her now

I love Mo, I really do, but she hasn't had the same backing that Du has been lucky to have (Unfortunately )...so what can anyone do, really? It's not as if these forum threads will prompt people of importance to take more notice of her...All I can say is: her time will hopefully come.

Mo chose to stay in china when she was approached by IMG, Next, etc to familiarize the home market. there's no competition between her & du because theres no doubt Mo will take over where Du (will) leave off. she's smart to wait until approaching 2008.
yes, Du just lucked out. i asked a member here who's a fashion editor at Vogue China why she's chosen at all and the reply was "Simple. Vogue China pushed her". She was single handedly picked by a VogueCN principal who has influence, even though it's an old lady with conservative & old fashioned taste. however now agencies are paying lots of attention to chinese models through their runway performance at CFW, as that agent said in the interview. there'll be new girls like Zhang Xue coming over to New York in the coming seasons so it's a sign veterans like Du will be out in favor of a wave who have, like angel222 said, OOMPH.
and yes, i know there are more than a few agents who frequent her & many other models threads here

^Yes, of course I know agents frequent here, too

But the bottomline is that there's no need to criticize Du for having the luck of the draw right now. If she's a hot commodity, then there's no point denouncing her for it, because it's not her who holds the final decisions between the people of influence or casting agents. When the new wave comes, sure, she'll probably be pushed out, but until the girls arrive and take over, Du is the temporary star, and I think people need to accept that fact better, that's all!

I hope the best for Mo and the rest

I was thinking about this after I read your post, but it seems like the luck of the draw is exactly what is needed for a model to be on top. If a model doesnt receive this luck, she better be equally lucky at every other major publication to have her star rise. But even if VogueCN editor is the one who decides to push her into stardom, it's no different to we see Anna Wintour for VogueUS pushing the same girls over and over, like Karolina Kurkova between 2001-2003, Caroline Trentini, as well as Steven Meisel who shot Jessica Stam exclusively and Coco Rocha at the beginning of their careers. It's the luck that you need to be on top, even if you arent a favourite of more than the editor of a major magazine or highly influential photographer. The new wave of models will hopefully be lucky to churn out a star like Du Juan

i found a pic, olivia cheng

anyone think so? the broad forehead and the lips? i feel like they could be mother and daughter

pinkcouture - i looked back a few pgs i think she looks kind of like rowena lam in some pics too. she has some of the 'sweetie' face.

 

[@~PinkCouture~@]

I don't really see the resemblance, but that is just me

oh ok, when you said there's nothing we can do on these forums to convince the influencers i thought you didn't. hehe

difference between her & them is they are only a handful amongst the majority of caucasian models who receive this backup. when you're a single representative, since there's only Du representing Chinese female consumers now, it should be of public opinion and represent societal values/norms/mores. it's good for business & everything else.
