Model Wall: Shu Pei Qin
“I want to study classical music when I go back to school,” Shu tells me during her visit to the Vogue offices. Although classically trained in piano, Shu wants to take a bow to the cello: “The music is so beautiful,” she says. When she’s not modeling she likes to read (Alice in Wonderland, this week), draw, and to be outdoors. But what does she prize as her ultimate talent? Scouting out the best Asian restaurants around New York City. So far, nothing tops Lan Sheng Szechuan restaurant, but the search continues!
