Inez and Vinoodh shot the new YSL campaign, I saw it on Instagram.

It has Hiandra, Anja, Cara Taylor and Raquel in it.

Ansley G. for Lanvin.

I am getting really pissed right now because I'm not seeing any asian faces in pretty much everything released so far! Sora, Liu, Fei Fei, Jing, Fernanda, and Cong deserve at least one high fashion campaign each.

At the top of my head, I can only think of Cong He in the Ermanno Scervino campaign and Sora Choi in the new Dior beauty campaign. I think Sora has a good chance at Louis Vuitton.

Kiko Arai for Coach and Fei Fei for EL.

Sora deserves a Prada campaign at this point than some random newcomer.

Also, where the feck are Imaan's high fashion campaigns? Seriously it's long overdue for her to have a Grace Elizabeth/Vittoria Cerretti/Julia Nobis season of 5 A list campaigns! The fashion industry is something I love and am very passionate about but I also loathe it in so many ways.

Sora got Prada F/W 16 campaign, but was cancelled last minute.

There's also an Asian model in the Prada ad this season.

Do you know which asian girl got it? I'm hoping for Jing Wen. Miuccia needs to support POC models the same way she supports white girls by giving them multiple campaigns.

Xie Chaoyu.

There's a really good article written about high-end labels ignoring the importance of casting Asian models and how their castings don't reflect the customer demographics:

Thanks for sharing. Too bad about Jing not getting the campaign or even Fei Fei. I feel like Fei Fei and Jing should be like Gemma, Sasha, Amanda, and Kris and receive their repeated support. At least Fei Fei has had more than one Prada campaign I guess.

Any news on the Asian newfaces? Kiko got Coach, Xie Chaoyu got Prada.

Chu? Yoonyoung? EZ (AW?) Sohyun? Hoyeon? Sijia Kang? Heejung?

It's so sad because there's always Asian models that do well on the runway for 2-3 seasons, might get a bluechip campaign, but then fade into obscurity. I will never get over girls like Dylan Xue getting left behind despite having such strong looks. Same for Luping, Bhumika, etc.

I guess it makes it incredibly remarkable when Asian models last more than 2 years. So kudos to Cong He, Sora, and Jing.

It's a crime that Dylan Xue faded away. She has so much star power. The world isn't fair.

I think there's a shift in the casting industry. I've noticed a slow down with Asian models. There are lots of beautiful faces but I don't know why they're not getting jobs, even Liu had only a handful of campaigns last year.

Dylan Xue looks like a dude. I've never liked her work. She is not editorial on prints or on runways.

I read somewhere Sora got Salvatore Ferragamo. Kennah Lau probably will get Balenciaga again.

Haven't seen a shot of Xie Chaoyu in the Prada campaign or in the video. Hoping a couple shots are unreleased.

I don't see Imari neither. I hope to see their shots soon. I love them both.

SO surprised to see Anok Yai @ Prada tho. A wonderful surprise.

Dylan Xue looks masculine. I've never liked her work. She is not editorial on prints or on runways.

I don't understand why the slow down is happening. China and several other countries in Asia have become huge players in the fashion market. Hopefully we'll see another Asian invasion to reflect this reality because many asians are consumers of high fashion. I am glad that the fashion world is more diverse than it was ten years ago but we still have a long way to go.

I love Dylan because she looks like a dude. Her androgyny appeals to me. She's basically the asian version of Saskia or Freja. Hope she returns someday. Fingers crossed.

I also think that the fashion industry needs to give more high fashion campaigns to trans women. I'm hoping that Marc Jacobs will support Teddy and give her a spot in the campaign. Also hoping and praying that Valentina gets something huge. It's depressing that Alt isn't supporting her after the one cover the same way she supports Anna E and others.

And they need to start giving plus sized models spots in high fashion campaigns. Hopefully we see a huge shift at the end of the decade and in the beginning of the 2020s.

Céline is Binx and another girl I can't ID (Natasa Vojnovic or maybe Liisa Winkler?) by Teller. In UK Vogue February issue; it looks pretty good, must say .
