Hye Park Editorial for China Harper's Bazaar, November 2008

I have to applaud China Vogue for consistently using Asian models of non-Chinese ethnicity in its magazine. Hye Park, Ai Tominaga, Han Jin and Eugenia Mandzhieva have all appeared on China Vogue at least once a year and it's refreshing to see that. Korea Vogue and Nippon Vogue need to be more inclusive of other Asian models.

That said, my favorite shots here are photos #1, #5 (love the make-up there), #10 and #12 (gorgeous white dress with yellow beadings). I don't particularly like some of the blurry shots -- the effect works well in some shots but not in others.

Gwen Lu in Nordstrom November Holiday 2008 Catalog

It's holiday catalog season so I'm hunting down all the catalogs to see who is appearing where this season. First, we saw Hye Park in Bloomingdale's Holiday 2008 catalog. Now Gwen Lu is in the Nordstrom's version. This is Gwen Lu's second consecutive appearance for Nordstrom. She was in the October 2008 issue and now has over 10 pages in the November (Holiday) 2008 issue.

Fall 2008 is turning out to be a good season for Gwen Lu because she has appeared in four editorials in France and Taiwan so far, and she has also booked a couple of catalog work (i.e. the money jobs) with Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom.

Hye Park Magazine Cover for Korea Harper's Bazaar, November 2008

Hye Park, one of the top Asian models working today, has another cover (with Korean pop singer, Rain) on Korea Harper's Bazaar's November 2008 issue. She has been on so many Korean magazine covers that I have lost count already. Her non-Korean magazine covers include (Italian) Flair and (French) Revue de Modes.

On the ad campaign front, this has been a stellar year for Hye. She booked an international ad campaign for Cesare Paciotti last season and right now, she can be see in two major ones with Max Mara and Tiffany. Her Max Mara ads have been on heavy rotation in every major fashion magazine around the world so she is definitely getting a lot of face time this season.

Although her runway appearances have slowed down recently, she still manages to walk for most of the top designers, including Louis Vuitton and Oscar de la Renta. And Hye Park doesn't come cheap either. Not every designer can afford to pay her to walk on their shows. Her agencies in NY, Paris and Milan have probably hiked her show rates to such exorbitant heights that she could walk on some selected shows only.

Selina Khan Editorial for Teen Vogue, November 2008

Selina Khan, who competed in the 2007 Elite Model Look competition, burst onto the scene this season at the New York Fashion Week and managed to snag 8 shows, including Ralph Lauren and Lacoste. Represented by One Models in NYC, the young girl from the Caribbean (she represented The Antilles at the Elite Model Look competition) scored an editorial in Teen Vogue recently (November 2008) shot by fame photographer, Bruce Weber. Although the editorial is not spectacular, it is a great start for a new model and a typical shoot for Teen Vogue.

There isn't a whole lot of information about her on the internet but stay tuned. I expect to see more of her work in the near future.
