My Take
Liu Wen is a genuine trailblazer, and I never tire of pointing it out. Widely regarded as China's first supermodel, she was the first Chinese model to walk the Victoria's Secret show, the first East Asian face of Estee Lauder, and the first Asian model on Forbes' highest-paid list. Stack those firsts together and you see someone who didn't just join an industry but rewrote whose face it could feature. At 178 cm she carried that change with poise, opening doors on a runway long centered on the West. I find her composure and pioneering nerve genuinely inspiring.
