Top model Liu Wen was tapped by Madewell for the label’s Spring 2013 catalog.<\/strong> According to Madewell, the Chinese beauty knows how to mix her denim and designer duds, which is very on-brand for J.Crew’s edgier sister line. To mark the partnership, Madewell asked Wen about her style and dressing inspiration, which you can read exclusively below.<\/p>\n

You have such incredible off-duty style\u2014who else do you admire for their sartorial choices?<\/strong> “Kate Moss!”<\/p>\n

Where do you look for fashion inspiration?<\/strong> “My work is the best inspiration! Every makeup artist or stylist with whom I work has many special ideas, tips, and creations. I can always learn so much from them.”<\/p>\n

What did you like about this shoot?<\/strong> “Striped shirts and printed shorts, jeans, and trousers are all items I buy and wear a lot in my private life. They are very easy to mix and match and they’re must-haves to create many different looks.”<\/p>\n

How would you describe your denim style?<\/strong> “I prefer skinny jeans. I\u2019ll wear simple, tighter clothes on top to make a sexy look and when it’s colder outside I wear a big jacket over them.”<\/p>\n

You’ve said you would like to be a stylist, do you offer advice on shoots?<\/strong> “Ha, ha\u2014actually, I rarely offer my opinion on shoots. After all, I am working as model now, and I think it’s more important for a model to let others be creative and realize their ideas.”<\/p>\n

How will you wear graphic black and white this spring?<\/strong> “I\u2019m thinking of using a bright, solid-color bag to contrast with the black and white.”<\/p>\n

When you have down time, what’s the first thing you want to do?<\/strong> “I let myself wake up naturally, do a manicure, hair care, and cook for myself.”<\/p>\n

Is there anything beauty-wise you would never try?<\/strong> Say, with your hair color? “I wish to try everything beauty-wise (except plastic surgery), although sometimes I\u2019m just not brave enough to [take the plunge and] do something that makes a big difference.”<\/p>\n

Since you are constantly traveling for work, what are your packing musts?<\/strong> “I collect a lot of eco-friendly shopping bags that serve to separate my shoes other and other small stuff in my luggage. For skincare, I always pack facial masks from Est\u00e9e Lauder. There are always candies and very often, a half-pack of cookies in my bag.”<\/p>\n
