Finally, an Asian model not chosen solely for her ethnicity, but the beauty the continent actually has to offer.

Seriously, get over it...it's not true...sorry but I am really really annoyed by these comments after hearing them a million times in other threads.

Well, I think she is a woman. Personally as a female who is over the age of 18, I find it to be respectful to be called a woman than a girl. There is just something undermining calling a grown female a "girl."

Maybe I am not understanding something, but what about comment skadih's upset you? I want to know b/c perhaps I misinterpreted what he/she said :)
 
Well, the opinion that apparantly a lot of other Asian models are only chosen because they are Asian and not because they are beautiful. Meaning they don't represent Asia well. It's such nonsense...models are models because they are beautiful...the successful Asian models are beautiful as well I think. And even if you don't think that, you need to realise that models represent absolutely nothing. At least no countries or ethnical backgrounds. They are just pretty creatures who look good in clothes...they are not posters for China, for America, for Russia, whatever. Consumers don't even know where the girls in the mags come from or what their names are, so it doesn't matter.

Excuse my rant :flower:
 
Ahhhh...I get it now. Well technically there is no such thing as a true representation of each race b/c within each "race" there are variations. It is a anthopological principle :)

No, you are allow to rant. This is a forum :flower:

I DISAGREE. The media including magazines have always made white women to be more beautiful, desirable, sensual, alluring, expensive, and VAUABLE. THIS IS A MYTH. The truth is America (country which I live in) have always denigrated and exploited Asian women as prostitutes and with less worth than white women. Although this is a complete myth, you always see beautiful white women in magazines because other straight white women and gay white men idolize them. Many straight white men want Asian women!!! They never place beautiful Asian or Black or whatever race women in magazines or the media because it is a THREAT, and they can NOT identify with them!!! Therefore, you only see ugly women of color because it was engineered that way by straight white women and homosexual white men. When a fierce woman of color takes control she is a b*tch, and an anomaly or some sort, when in fact, she's just being who she is - a beautiful, fierce, sensual woman.

no, she was born in 1988.

she was indeed doing the fittings @ Armani but i believe got cancelled at the last minute.
she's doing well for someone who has had no editorial clout or industry hype surrounding her, i think she's just testing the waters to see if this market is suitable. if not, she will always make 5-figure-per-catwalk salaries back home. ^_^

I think it is sometimes tough for the majority (whites) to truly understand the experiences of minorities (people of color) b/c they are not always aware of how "privledged" they are. Peggy Macintosh's [SIZE=-1]White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack discusses this. It is basic psychology those in "power" do not like to consider those who are "inferior" b/c they have no reason to. It threatens them, and why would anyone w/ the upper hand want to give up that position?? And all I just said is backed up by the Journal of Social Psychology and by a renown psychology professor who has done a lot of research on the psychology of woman and of racism. Reference will be provided upon request :)[/SIZE]

^no that's ok we believe you.

now that there are many more asian models featured beginning this season in particular, there's no reason to believe anyone is representing anything, anymore. no one cares for their countries of origin, but how they fit the clothes. good sign. i wouldn't say this was so couple years ago, though.

anyway, less BS, more PICS!
 
I find it interesting that when you make an irrevelent comment it is ok, but when others do it, it is BS.
 
Oh, my bad. Misunderstanding---it is the i-net so it is bound to happen. It is all good. Anyway, thanks for the video clips.
