INTERNATIONAL SUPERMODEL CHINA

Liu Wen has enjoyed a career filled with firsts: the first Chinese model to walk the

runway at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, the first to appear on the front of

American Vogue and the first Asian spokesperson for beauty giant Estée Lauder.

Her journey to the catwalk was far from easy. She moved from Hunan Province in

southern China to Beijing at 18 but found work hard to come by. Liu persevered: “I told

myself that bad things would only last for a day, not a month or a year,” she says. Her

big break came in 2008, when she landed a spot on Burberry’s runway show during

Milan Fashion Week. The following year she appeared in more than 70 shows.

Today Liu spends less time treading the catwalks and more on lucrative global

campaigns for a host of major fashion and cosmetics brands. Forbes estimates Liu

banked $7 million in earnings last year, making her one of the highest-paid models in

the world. —Glenda Toma
