Saint Laurent Introduces the World to Trinidad’s Next Top Model
SEPTEMBER 26, 2017 by JANELLE OKWODU
Saint Laurent’s casts are always a dynamic mix of models of the moment and attention-grabbing names with rock star cred. For tonight’s Spring 2018 show, designer Anthony Vaccarello and casting director Piergiorgio Del Moro honed in on the current It crowd, with Kaia Gerber, Mica Arganaraz, and Liam Gallagher’s handsome son Lennon all making the rounds. Those big names may get the bulk of the attention, but Vaccarello and Del Moro also introduced a series of newcomers, among them Naomi Chin Wing, a striking 17-year-old from Trinidad and Tobago. By making her debut at Saint Laurent, Wing fulfilled a wish she’s had since childhood—of heading to Europe and conquering the runway like her favorite supermodel and fellow Caribbean, Joan Smalls. “For this island girl, traveling to Paris, working, and meeting new people is a dream come true,” shared Wing preshow. “This is my first big international job, and I am so grateful to be given the opportunity to be involved with such an iconic fashion house.”
Intrigued by fashion from an early age, Wing sought out a modeling workshop to get her foot in the door. She was signed locally after winning the workshop’s talent search, then internationally once an agent at IMG received her pictures from a friend. Since then, Wing has been on the fast track toward success. While her dramatic good looks make her a natural for high fashion, she was bullied by classmates as a kid. “In primary school, I was called ugly,” said Wing, who took the taunts in stride. “[I like] seeing my confidence grow with every new challenge—I’m a world away from the shy girl I was a few years ago.” Proving herself with one of Paris’s most coveted gigs only adds to her self-esteem—“that a fashion house as big as Saint Laurent saw potential in me is really rewarding,” she said.
Currently acclimating to her new career, Wing is adjusting to the industry’s breakneck pace. “The competition [can be challenging] when there are so many models and only a few spots for the taking!” she said. Ambitious with a genuine love of clothing and the artistry behind it, she’s been inspired by the trajectory of women like Smalls. “Her body of work over her career is outstanding,” said Wing. “I can only hope I will have the same longevity in the industry.” With an A-list wish list of future collaborators—Steven Meisel, Pat McGrath, Edward Enninful—Wing has the potential to provide the Caribbean with its next breakout model. It’s a role she seems ready to take on. “We’ll have to see what happens in the coming months!” Wing added. That said, she’s not letting the spotlight get to her head: “[You have to] always remember where you came from and give back whenever and wherever you can.” Spoken like a true star on the rise.

Also she was the winner of Trinidad & Tobago Top Model competition back in 2015 when she was fifteen years old... according to this article she's of African, Chinese, and East Indian heritage. https://view.joomag.com/omg-digital...5-vol-4-issue-176/0590333001442498794?page=26
