On the catwalk, the high fluorescent lights lit up, and I saw her walking with calm steps. She is like a light, and she has attracted countless eyes as soon as she appears. She can always easily control any outfit, she is graceful and luxurious in evening dress, and she is sassy and cool in casual clothes. She is good at making eye contact, her eyes are full of content, and she properly gives soul to the clothes on her body. She is the "big cousin" Liu Wen, the queen of the runway.
Liu Wen is cold on the surface, introverted and lively and mischievous in private. Liu Wen once participated in an event, she walked around in her spare time, met a fan who recognized her, asked her "is it Liu Wen", Liu Wen said "I am Liu Wen's big cousin". Liu Wen has the nickname of "big cousin".
1. Liu Wen's highlight moment at Paris Fashion Week
"Big cousin" Liu Wen at Paris Fashion Week 2023, she walked three shows in seven hours, closing for Paris Fashion Week. This grand event that has attracted global attention, with the joining of the "big cousin", the Chinese people are even more concerned.
Liu Wen did not make the Chinese audience as beautiful and happy as in the past at this Paris Fashion Week, on the contrary, the "thin and out of shape" body and the strange costume that could not be appreciated.
"Big Cousin" Liu Wen wore a dress that a brand displayed at Fashion Week, her upper body was almost completely naked, and only two black straps crossed over her chest. Some netizens commented that "it's better not to wear it" and "really can't appreciate it", and some netizens think that no matter how innovative it is, clothes are to be worn, and practicality is always required.
In fact, art comes from life above life, conceptual clothing is separated from warmth, beauty and other practicality, in order to lead the fashion, promote their own brand and designer creativity, style.
Look at the "big cousin" Liu Wen so thin that her cheeks have collapsed, her body is skinny, and there is no beauty at all. It turned out that the "big cousin" Liu Wen had just had her wisdom teeth extracted, had difficulty eating, and was already a little thin, coupled with her insistence on exercising and participating in clothing week The intensity of work was greater than usual, and she looked even thinner.
For a long time, "Big Cousin" Liu Wen has been loved by Chinese audiences with a height of 178cm, a supermodel body weighing 52G, and professionalism and dedication on the runway, coupled with her sunny smile. Love is deeply responsible, and the international Liu Wen is still like her own child in the eyes of the Chinese people, who can pick bones in the egg.
Second, Liu Wen participated in model training in order to train her body shape and became a contracted model at the age of 17
Liu Wen was born on January 27, 1988 in an ordinary family in Yongzhou City, Hunan Province, and her mother was a full-time housewife. Don't look at the current Liu Wen is the queen on the catwalk, she was an ugly duckling when she was a child, because of her single eyelids, thick lips, and height of one meter seven or five, and she was inferior, and she didn't dare to stand up and raise her head when walking.
Sensing her inferiority, her mother encouraged her:
"Girls should look younger and more confident."
In order to improve her hunched posture, her parents helped her sign up for modeling classes.
Unintentionally, willows are planted. Fu Mingxia has not been in good health since she was a child, and her parents let her practice sports in order to keep her healthy, and accidentally became the world diving champion. Liu Wen participated in modeling training in order to improve her posture and accidentally became the queen of the runway.
In 2005, with the encouragement of her parents, Liu Wen participated in the Yongzhou Division of the New Silk Road Model Competition in Hunan Division, and won the champion of Hunan Division in one fell swoop, and at the age of 17, she became a contracted model, which also made Liu Wen embark on the road of modeling career from now on.
In the face of opportunities, the future is uncertain, whether people turn on the horse or have a bright future, whether to create another shortcut or follow the trend. Liu Wen seized this opportunity and came to Beijing single-handedly to develop. A strange city, an age full of dreams, success will not live up to the sweat.
After Liu Wen came to Beijing, she found that dreams are plump and reality is skinny. Even if she bought 2,000 magazines and studied them carefully, she adjusted herself to a better professional state. Liu Wen had no show to leave in the first year of her development in Beijing, and she was often replaced in the modeling team. I just wanted to ask others for advice and learning, but I was just coldly eyed.
Liu Wen, who has the stubbornness of the Xiang girl in her bones, did not flinch, but continued to buy model training materials to learn, adjusting herself from makeup to demeanor, she often imitated supermodels to walk on the stage, fantasizing that she would one day be able to shine on the catwalk.
In order to better understand the modeling industry, but also for life, Liu Wen became a fitting model, trying on the clothes of formal models. She did it for two years at once.
At this time, Liu Wen has gradually adapted to the days of wandering outside, and does not report good news to the family, so as not to worry about her parents at home.
She grew stronger and knew how to shield herself from the elements. She knows that there is no low-hanging fruit of success, and she believes that success pays off.
When Joseph Jie, former creative director of Beauty magazine, saw Liu Wen, he said:
"You, the darling of light."
At that time, "Jiaren" magazine was planning a Chinese image, Joseph recommended Liu Wen to the magazine, the magazine put Rang Wen's photo on the cover of the current issue, Liu Wen opened up her popularity in the international modeling circle, and successively received invitations from some international brands to cooperate.
In 2008, Joseph invited Liu Wen to New York for development. At that time, Liu Wen, who already had a certain reputation in China, hesitated, or was guided by the light, and after staying up all night and thinking repeatedly, Liu Wen finally decided to come to New York to develop and officially enter the international modeling market.
Life is not familiar, which is no longer a matter for Liu Wen. A person assembles furniture, spends 2 hours the day before leaving the house, researches the route of tomorrow's trip, and then marks it with Chinese. The next day, I went out at 3 or 4 o'clock and took more than 2 hours of subway to reach the interview of the target.
In the runway, in order to match different looks, washing hair with mineral water in winter has long been commonplace. In the background, when the makeup artist was busy running around the scene, Liu Wen directly poured nail polish remover on her body and rubbed it vigorously.
For Liu Wen, who has no background and connections, only by putting in more effort than others can she have the opportunity to stand on the same starting line with others.
Liu Wen's biggest distress comes from the language barrier, her English level is limited to "yes" and "no", she cannot communicate with people, and she feels lonely. The language barrier had to be passed, so even if she was tired from working during the day, she would study English by herself until late at night.
In this way, Liu Wen spent seven years in New York. If in Beijing, Liu Wen has transformed into a swan, then in New York, Liu Wen has become the leader of the swan flock.
In the past seven years, Liu Wen has become a hot supermodel. She is the first East Asian model to walk the "Victoria's Secret" catwalk, she has participated in the "Victoria's Secret" catwalk for four consecutive years, she continues to appear on the runway of the world's four major fashion weeks, and she is constantly invited to cooperate with major international famous brands. Such a supermodel who withstands the light of the Chinese and has a great ex "self-destructed his ex" in 2019.
After a foreign brand was insulted by China, the Chinese people were angry, and Liu Wen unilaterally terminated the cooperation with her brand. Liu Wen defended national sovereignty, and netizens applauded, but Liu Wen faced sky-high liquidated damages and was more likely to be banned by the fashion industry. Although after final negotiation, a certain brand did not let Liu Wen claim, but since then Liu Wen has entered a downturn in her career, has not been able to access any resources for a long time, and has not appeared on the international red carpet for nearly 1 year, which is quite painful and a huge blow to a popular model.
Liu Wen has never complained about this in public, nor has she ever hyped it. Safeguarding national dignity has long been dissolved in Liu Wen's blood.
In terms of private life, Liu Wen is more low-key, and she is busy with the catwalk and has no time to fall in love. But no matter how busy he was, Cupid still shot the arrow of Eros. Four years ago, Liu Wen met and fell in love with Jing Boran because of her work.
At the 2023 Paris Fashion Week, Liu Wen and Jing Boran wore couple outfits to show their love. Netizens sent their blessings one after another, looking forward to hearing the official announcement of the two as soon as possible.
Liu Wen ushered in a double harvest of love career, and she looked radiant when she was thin. At the crossroads of life, even if her choice deviates a little, on the way forward, even if her efforts stop a little, she cannot stand on the peak of today's life.
Liu Wen used her success to explain that choice is as important as effort, choice is the premise, and effort is inevitable. Choose what you love, and then work hard and be happy.
