V Mag out with Asia Issue -says Asians next big thing – duh!
This spread features what V is calling Asian supermodels — or some of the Asian models who are booking the most work in the industry, not that they’re working nearly at the rate of the industry’s top-earning lady models.
Magazines are starting to follow suit by investing page counts and even entire issues employing models of color. American Vogue shot a two page spread on Asian models entitled Asia Major for their December issue. Vogue Italia’s Black Allure fashion story from February garnered much attention. However, this month Vogue Italia features two entire fashion stories with black models. At The Cut there is a preview of V Magazine’s Asian Issue, which highlights top Asian models like Liu Wen, Tao Okamoto, Shu Pei and Fei Fei Sun. The issue hits newsstands tomorrow.
I knew these girls were the next SUPERMODELS! Liu Wen, Shu Pei and Hyoni Kang, the supermodels of the new millennium in 2008
