Does it emerge in economics, science, medicine and why not also in fashion? Chinese models are increasingly requested by famous fashion houses for shooting and fashion shows. In fact, even greater China is the new entry that makes people talk about themselves in the world of fashion and catwalks, of stylists and of the imposition of future taste. It is therefore no wonder that the models and models of the land of the dragon are also making their mark on the international scene.
In particular , Asian models find doors open thanks to the Western myth, which wants the Asian woman to be delightful in her petite, graceful and refined features. They are still not panthers like Naomi Campbell nor sophisticated queens like Gisele Bundchen but… eyes open! They will know how to turn heads too.
Liu Wen
Liu Wen is considered one of the most beautiful women in the world. She was born in Yongzhou in 1988, she takes part in a national beauty contest at the age of 17 – New Silk Road World Model Contest – without winning it but she still gets great visibility, being called by the major Chinese fashion magazines.

Zuo Ye
Finally, we also want to talk about Zuo Ye. She may not be the model of the moment but she is certainly a name to remember for the future. She became famous in the fall of 2018 for a Dolce & Gabbana commercial in which she jokes about China, the very young Chinese model of only 22, she had to publicly apologize to the whole nation for the controversy that that scene caused.
In fact, he declared to the media that “his career is ruined forever” but perhaps it is not really so, since it was not his fault but of all the staff who created that unhappy spot, which was then filmed all over the world and led to these controversies, which then culminated with the video of apologies from the Italian designers themselves and, after all, a scandal often creates a myth… at least in the West.
Conclusions
The Chinese models and in general the Asian ones , are depopulating in recent years thanks to their physical features: graceful, with less marked features than those of their Western colleagues, with perfect shapes for parading, up to their ability to withstand stress and life from model, made up of shooting, fashion shows, social events, which they always face with a smile on their lips.
