Emma Pei, Mo Wandan, Liu Wen, Liu Dan, Ge Huijie Editorial for China Vogue, December 2008

I am so in love with this editoria from China Vogue, December 2008. The stylist and photographer did a fabulous job putting the clothes and girls together, and catching the perfect light in the hutong (narrow alley of Beijing). My favorites are photos #1 (Gucci, F08/W09) and #2 (Burberry Prorsum, F08/W09).

The girls all look fabulous here. Interestingly, Liu Wen (the latest break-out star of China) didn't stand out as much as the other girls in the editorial -- she sort of faded behind the stronger faces like Mo Wandan and Liu Dan. Emma Pei also really ROCK-ed in the photos.

Who are the other girls in photos #2 (last two on the right) and #3 (the last girl on the right)?

Liu Dan in Nordstrom Catalog, January 2008

This is Liu Dan's third appearance in a Nordstrom's catalog this year. The company must really love her. But then again, what's not to love -- she's gorgeous and versatile. The first two photos are spectacular; the rest are above average catalog stuff.

Catalog shoots are the bread and butter of most working models. They pay really well, sometimes as much as $3,000/day for brands like JCrew and Ann Taylor or stores like Macys and Nordstrom. In addition, there are so many catalog shoots that a successful catalog model can book a job almost every month. Magazine covers and editorials, on the other hand, are great for recognition and exposure but they rarely pay more than $300/day, even for top-notch magazines like Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.
