Chinese supermodel makes history
Thanks to Liu Wen, a supermodel and Asian's pride, we learn more about the crazy life of Paris Fashion Week catwalks. Models only have time to wake up and they already need to take a taxi to go at fashion-shows' backstage and get prepared. This is not the dream life you expected! Liu admits she once had to walk at 22 shows during Paris Fashion Week. But she's lucky to be successful, which is not the case for many other models who are coming to Paris randomly, hoping that they will be selected for a show ... In one season, Liu will walk at 70 shows, from Balmain to Jean Paul Gaultier passing by Burberry. But at the end of the day, she only needs candies, ice creams and flat shoes to be happy! Enjoy her view on the world of fashion!
