In Lu Yan with an iconic face favored by the fashion industry,
When Liu Wen became the first national model to appear on the Victoria's Secret Show,
There is already a supermodel predecessor who does not go internationally,
He also successfully transformed into a designer and created his own brand.
And in the face of husband cheating, immediate divorce, independent support of daughters,
Not only to become a well-known entrepreneur, but also to represent the national fashion brand.
In 1974, Ma Yanli was born in a rural area in Henan.
There are four daughters in the family, and the father is a teacher.
My mother was an ordinary peasant woman, and her family was not rich.
When Ma Yanli grows up, she still remembers the scene of her mother carrying her child to the field.
Whenever the children pay the tuition, it is the father who worries the most,
With a meager salary, he often did not have enough tuition fees.
He had to pull down his face to go out and borrow money, but he never wanted to prevent his daughter from studying.
Girls also have to fight for anger is what the father told several sisters from childhood.
When she was a child, Ma Yanli was one head taller than children of the same age.
When she was twelve years old, she was selected by Zhoukou City Sports School with superior physical conditions.
Since then, he has been studying alone from home.
When he left home, his father said to Ma Yanli that he would be alone outside in the future.
You must know how to respect yourself and love yourself, solve problems by yourself, and no one will help you.
This passage has become a life guide for Ma Yanli's life, and has also created her strong personality.
Although her parents were not big people, she was an important spiritual teacher.
After coming to the sports school, Ma Yanli entered the volleyball team, when she was the shortest one on the team.
However, after practicing for a year, her size jumped to the highest one.
Coupled with good skills, he soon became the main player in the team.
The 1980s was the era when The iron hammer Lang Ping led the women's volleyball team to win five consecutive championships.
At that time, the people of the whole country were inspired by the spirit of the women's volleyball team, and Lang Ping also became Ma Yanli's goal.
However, after playing volleyball for three years, Ma Yanli was transferred to the provincial sports school.
From volleyball to water rowing, he is still the main player in the team.
In 1993, Ma Yanli had already qualified for the National Games.
And the team set a goal must be to get the cards.
However, just a month before the game, her back injury recurred,
The doctor diagnosed her and told her that she could no longer participate in the competition.
At that time, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Ma Yanli was overwhelmed,
The originally confident and well-prepared game suddenly lost its qualification,
For a moment, she didn't know where to go.
Yet God always opens a window when he closes a door.
During a shopping trip, Ma Yanli was stared at by a salesman's eldest sister.
Ask her if she is a model.
At that time, Ma Yanli was 179 tall, which was very eye-catching in the crowd.
But she was shy, didn't say a word, just shook her head.
And then the big sister went on to say, you can try to be a model,
Our company is hiring, just upstairs.
Ma Yanli still did not speak, but the ghost sent God upstairs,
Participated in the model interview, and then was selected,
From losing the qualification for the competition with a waist injury to transforming into a model, in less than a year,
Everything was as if it were a coincidence.
Ma Yanli's conditions are very prominent among the models,
A year later, he participated in the Shanghai International Model Contest and won the championship.
The prize money for the winner of that tournament was ten thousand dollars,
In the nineties it was a very good income,
Ma Yanli immediately felt that she had become rich, and then bought a color TV for her mother.
After that, she ushered in her own era of supermodels, not only on the international runway,
It also filmed many well-known brand advertisements, including many foreign brands.
Previously, the more well-known model in China was Qu Ying, and at the same time cross-border film and television songs,
Becoming a popular star, the streets are all her pictures.
And Ma Yanli is four centimeters taller than Qu Ying, and her appearance is more atmospheric.
Born as an athlete, she is firm and fit, exuding an air of health and vitality.
Just when Ma Yanli stood on the catwalk to greet many applause and flowers,
Her heart is very sober, the modeling industry was still a relatively unpopular profession,
Not only is it not optimistic, but the occupational lifespan is very short.
Ma Yanli always remembered what her father said, girls have to do something,
She thought about how to do more influential things through this platform.
The first thing she thought of was to do a clothing brand.
As a model, she is very familiar with the fashion industry,
If you have another brand of your own, then this thing can continue to be done,
Maybe it could affect more people.
In 1998, Ma Yanli, who had just become popular as a model for three years, announced that she would study at a foreign fashion college.
This was undoubtedly a very courageous decision, because at that time her career was just right,
I am in the best age and state of a model, and my career and resources are very high-quality,
And to put all this down to do clothing brands is an unknown.
But Ma Yanli still resolutely chose to learn design, and registered her own brand at school.
Set up its own studio under the brand name 'Mary Ma',
Mary is her English name at fashion college.
In 1999, Ma Yanli held her first clothing brand conference.
Officially announced his transformation into a designer.
But in the first two years, her brand was not yet large.
She still appears as a model in major events,
Sometimes he will also make cameo appearances in some film and television dramas, while promoting himself,
On the one hand, he also made contacts to promote his own clothing brand.
In the process, Ma Yanli met a director who was 15 years older than him.
The two then fell in love and entered the palace of marriage in 2001.
This director has been married twice.
In 2003, Ma Yanli's daughter was born, and that year was very painful for her.
Not only the uneasiness and anxiety of the new mother,
There are also double pressures from career and family.
That year, Ma Yanli's father had a big operation.
She grew up with a good relationship with her father, and she was frightened and often ran to the hospital.
At the same time, Ma Yanli's first brand store in Oriental Plaza was finally opened.
This shop has poured a lot of her efforts into it.
From the furnishings to the decoration of the store, we are personally involved.
But just when everything comes together,
That year, I caught up with SARS, and there was not a single customer in the store.
Adjacent to Chang'an Avenue, Oriental Plaza is one of the most expensive locations in Beijing.
At that time, there was almost no record in the store, and the cost was burning wildly.
Like last year's epidemic, many companies can't stand it and go out of business.
Ma Yanli also once wondered whether to stop the loss in time,
But she always told herself that it would be good to hold on a little longer and stick to the past.
Fortunately, she did not give up, after experiencing SARS, Mary Ma finally survived,
After experiencing this challenge, Ma Yanli has also matured a lot.
However, just saved the career, the marriage lit up the red light again,
When she was on a business trip abroad, her husband was photographed secretly meeting beautiful women,
She quickly divorced and gained custody of her daughter,
He even changed his daughter's name to Ma Qinge, following her own surname.
Completely draw a line with her ex-husband, just like the big heroine of Shuangwen.
After the two divorced, Ma Yanli did not usher in her fourth marriage after the divorce.
As her brand awareness grew, celebrities asked her to do the design.
International star David David
The brand invited Ma Yanli to design a set of sportswear,
It is necessary to put the four big characters of the brand side in the most eye-catching position without losing the sense of beauty.
Ma Yanli was distressed for a long time, and finally remembered that her mother often wore clothes with slanted plackets.
So I designed a dress with a zipper on one side,
The four words requested by the brand are placed on the chest using embroidery techniques.
Beckham, who originally liked Chinese culture, was very satisfied with the dress.
The brand side is also very satisfied, and Ma Yanli has proved her strength with her works.
Ma Yanli also once designed clothes for her childhood idol Lang Ping,
Even foreign royalty once invited her to design clothes.
Lü Yan, Liu Wen, He Sui and other new generation of supermodels have risen,
And have embarked on the route of multi-habitat development,
And Ma Yanli, as a big predecessor, is still the most successful model in cross-border.
She is a strong woman in her career, but she is a gentle mother in life.
Ma Yanli loves wrinkles when she speaks, and her eyes look sharp,
But whenever she mentioned her daughter Ma Qinge, she would be gentle.
She often posts photos with her daughter on Weibo, and the life of the mother and daughter is warm and daily.
And the daughter also inherited her superior height,
Once walked the catwalk with Hu Jun's daughter in 2017 as the second generation of stars,
She was half a head taller than Hu Jun's daughter and had a very superior figure.
Ma Qinge also inherited her mother's talent in fashion, and the mother and daughter once designed environmentally friendly clothing together.
Ma Yanli adopted her daughter's suggestion to use wrinkled paper as a raw material, and the effect was very amazing.
And Ma Qinge has been very demanding of clothing since he was a child,
I started wearing jeans when I was three years old, and I never liked to wear skirts.
Your own clothes are very well matched.
Although she grew up in a single-parent family, Ma Yanli's career is also very busy,
But she and her daughter did grow up supporting each other.
The daughter also became a very confident girl,
She doesn't even consider letting her daughter inherit her own business and respect her own choices.
Now That Ma Yanli is 46 years old, she is no longer a supermodel when she appears.
It's a successful entrepreneur, a fashion designer.
Her brand has also long gone abroad and become the pride of the national brand.
Looking back at Ma Yanli's most of her life, it can be called the heroine shining into reality,
In the face of feelings decisively do not procrastinate, in the face of the cause of courageous pursuit,
At the same time, she is full of love and has raised an excellent daughter.
