165438+20 17 Victoria's Secret/kloc-0 officially opened on the evening of October 20th, with Liu Wen, He Sui, Xiaowen Qu, Ming Xi, and newcomers Xie Xin and Wang Yi coming on stage one after another.

Liu Wen took the wings of Victoria's secret angel for the first time. In Victoria's secret, those who don't have wings are supermodels and those who have wings are angels.

Do you know that Liu Wen, who didn't go to college, gave a speech at Harvard University?

Liu Wen, with fair skin and long legs, was born in a family of construction workers in Yongzhou, Hunan. Compared with people's impression of an international supermodel, her background is really inconspicuous.

Moreover, Liu Wen's invincible aura when taking photos and on the runway was not born. Before arriving in Beijing, she didn't even read fashion magazines.

She herself said, "In Yongzhou, a city with a population of 5.7 million, there are no fashion magazines. Our understanding of the outside world mainly comes from Korean soap operas. The only well-known western brands in this city are KFC and McDonald's. "

Our beloved Liu Wen grew up to the age of 17 in such a simple environment.

Can you imagine? It is this ordinary girl from an inland town who will one day become one of the hottest Asian runway models in the world.

And what's happening now, is 17-year-old Liu Wen can't even think about it.

/kloc-at the age of 0/7, she decided to take part in a model contest, took two boxes and took a 20-hour train ride from Yongzhou to Beijing, and began what everyone called a "drifting north" life.

I couldn't find a job for several days because of the bad catwalk. When she is free, she finds a lot of fashion magazines and studies how models pose and make expressions all day.

She said: "Maybe because I am stubborn, I decided to do one thing wholeheartedly, regardless of other things. I believe that when you persist, you will eventually find that the result must be good. "

"If you fall, you have to stand up by yourself. No one will help you! " In 2009, Liu Wen had 74 catwalks in the first quarter, including 144 catwalks in the whole year, plus 6 catwalks, which set an unprecedented record for Asian models to have the most catwalks in a single quarter.

As Liu Wen wished, the result was really good, ridiculously good!

/kloc-At the age of 0/9, Liu Wen has shed the feathers of the ugly duckling and started to show a swan-like posture.

At this time, Liu Wen has gradually become the darling of fashion publications, and the market has begun to identify with her.

In 2008, Liu Wen got the advertisement endorsement of "Shanghai Tang Fall/Winter 2008", which was the first advertisement in her modeling career.

After that, it was too late.

In 2009, she appeared on the stage that all models dream of-Victoria's Secret, becoming the first China model to appear on the secret runway.

As the first Asian model to speak for Estee Lauder globally, she has spoken for the brand for four consecutive years.

Because of its unique oriental face, Liu Wen has been favored by Calvin Klein for five consecutive years.

In 20 14, La Perla, the top Italian underwear brand, invited Liu Wen to appear in the advertisement as an elegant woman.

Starting from 20 10, Liu Wen will attend the Met gala every year, ranking first among domestic actresses.

In 20 14, she earned another $7 million, ranking third with miranda kerr and Kate Moss in the Forbes global model income list.

For all this, Liu Wen modestly attributed it to luck. "The opportunity came, and I was thinking about how to do it well. As for where I can go and what is ahead, I don't want to think too much. "

Not pretty, but you just can't say what's wrong with her.

Probably because she is lively and loves to laugh, but she is introverted. Therefore, even if there is no bra in the thin gauze, there will be no erotic feeling.

Perhaps, Liu Wen is the kind of person who is often said to be a girl.

Liu Wen's beauty is closer than Du Fu's, but she is not as pleasing as He Sui when facing the camera.

Ming Xi, a new supermodel younger than her, is beautiful, but she is too ostentatious and aggressive to be welcomed by honest girls.

Only Liu Wen can do it, unscathed and irresistible to men, women and children.

Intimacy has a decent distance.

She is gorgeous on the stage, but that belongs only to the stage and the camera.

In life, you can't even find Liu Wen out of line. She has always been very good and diligent, and she is really an ordinary person.

Sister P thinks that maybe this is one of the reasons why you like "Liu Wen".

Previously, a fashion column collected a group of photos of "Liu Wen's mobile phone is always attached to his ear in all major shows".

Many people think that she likes this look.

Later she explained that she was too busy.

"There are too many programs and I often run back and forth. You know it's difficult to call a car after the catwalk, so I have to keep in touch with the car, the driver and the car. "

Liu Wen said that once when she was on a catwalk in new york, she didn't hear the alarm clock overslept, so she was directly knocked on the door by her agent, took a bath in five minutes and was put on a motorcycle.

She said that there was another traffic jam that day, and sitting on a motorcycle was like flying.

"Tired, busy, anxious, you will fall when you encounter shoes that don't fit." Look, modeling is not just glamorous. Can you stand the pain of being a supermodel?

Girls are girls after all. Even now, after so many storms, our "big cousin" is still a crying baby.

The road in Paris is so hard to find that I will cry; Sick, helpless and crying in new york; The weather in Milan is bad, the traffic is blocked, and I still want to cry; The last set of clothes needs to be covered with patterns, and the next set needs to wear a gauze skirt, but the paint on my body can't be washed off with nail polish, and I cried.

Sure enough, girls are all made of water.

Alone at home, Liu Wen always packs boxes, "because you never know where you will go tomorrow." Because of cleanliness, I'm always sorting, sorting, sorting.

Besides, the full schedule and the international stage have also brought more challenges to Liu Wen.

At first, she had to take translators, English, Italian and French everywhere, and she had to start learning these languages.

"I'm from Yongzhou to Beijing, from Beijing to new york, from new york to Paris and Milan. For me, language is the biggest obstacle in this process. "

"One day, I followed the brokerage company to audition, and the photographer for the interview greeted me. How are you? I said, I'm fine, thank you! By the third sentence, I was completely dreaming and couldn't understand what they said. "

Liu Wen has made great efforts to overcome the language barrier.

Start by remembering the place names. She bought a new york subway ticket, took a map, a notebook and a pen, and sat station after station. She learns the road by memorizing the English names of each station, and then tries to ask the way in body language and English.

Today, although Liu Wen's oral English is not so perfect, her language always reveals naturalness and casualness, just like her confidence and atmosphere on the runway.

Someone asked her if she was afraid of the bottleneck period caused by the older model.

She said frankly that she was not afraid.

My idol Carmen, 70 years old and white-haired, can still perform her unique beauty on the stage. Such a model is the real supermodel.

As a "golden single lady in the world", Liu Wen's love affair is the focus of attention of major media. In fact, her own love experience can be said to be blank.

In 20 16, Liu Wen participated in Let's Love, and formed CP with Korean Oba Choi Siwon.

She has no experience in love. She is just putting on a show.

When she goes to the man's house, she will carefully choose gifts for Choi Siwon's father, and also choose suitable clothes and so on. Every thought shows her propriety.

For the request of the other half, "this is really hard to say. They say that old people will tie red lines on different people. This is fate. "

"Every girl dreams that her boyfriend is handsome and tall, but if I choose a boyfriend, I must be filial because I find it difficult for my parents."

She also said that even if she has another half, she will not give up her career because she likes her job very much. "I am a serious person and work hard, so that when I stand beside the person I love, no matter whether he has money or nothing, I can hug him with open hands. I don't feel tall if he has money, and we won't be down and out if he is poor. "

No matter what stage she is on, how expensive clothes she wears, what kind of audience she faces and returns to her life, she is a simple and lovely tall girl!
