[telicious]

New to the SS08 Season for Next - Anyone know anything about her?

She doesn't even seem to be on the Next board yet on their website!

 

[min-SH]

She's with NEXT NY branch, but still under "New Face".
Her full name is Qin ShuPei

She isn't very photogenic, pretty like an actress or dancer, but not top model material.

is this what passes for an asian model nowadays. whats the point of having someone looking like 90% of all asians ever existed. i mean if you line up 20 asians and somehow is able to calculate an 'average' of what they look like, she would be the result. no offense but she looks like an ape.

i think neXt is losing their edge.

Are you sure Next ever had an edge? joking of course. But Shu Pei is definetly not a great asian face for high fashion, appealing to asians or westerners. I can see her as a model for her body shape and height, but only for commercial work. Not a fashion face at all.

^ high five

it makes me sad that models from every other country are a selection of the best of the best but not asian ones. i weep at night sometimes

^^She's like "just another Asian face" for the market, plain and easily forgettable.
Sigh.

I have to say she looks really plain on the runway - I expected so much more for some reason! I wonder if she's doing Milan and Paris?
