Kiki Kang Editorial for Maire Claire China, October 2009

It seems like Du Juan, Hye Park & Han Jin are all in semi-retirement and Lakshmi Menon, Liu Wen & Tao Okamoto have reached their peaks. So it only makes sense that new Asian faces are storming the doors to make a name for themselves.

Shu Pei is definitely the latest Asian star of the moment with editorials in W Magazine & US Glamour in January 2010 alone. That is pretty impressive for any model, much less an Asian girl. So who is the up-and-coming model?

Kiki Kang just scored an impressive ad campaign with Topshop, Spring 2010 this season. And her look is very versatile, based on this editorial and others I've seen. What do you think?

Du Juan Editorial for Vogue China, October 2009

Du Juan looks great as usual but the overall editorial was kind of BLAH! The only shot I liked is photo #3 with Du Juan wearing Prada waders and shorts standing in front of an oil refinery.

Liu Wen Editorial for Vogue China, October 2009

OMG, I am soooo frigging in love with this editorial. It's probably one of the best studio work I've seen in Vogue China.
Liu Wen just blew this out of the water. The styling and lighting are superb.

Note to Other Magazines: You DO NOT have to use crazy hair AND kooky makeup on Asian models. Pick one and leave the rest alone.

Note to Those Who Love Clothes: Click on the photos to appreciate the amazing details in the fabric and construction of the clothes. Special thanks to Kazaf @ tFs for the HQ scans. I've been salivating over amazing details on the Lanvin, Prada and Dior dresses.
