"Many people asked me how many shows I did this season; I didn’t even remember the number. Later checking out by Internet I found out: 74?! 74 shows during 30 days? How was I able to accomplish all that?"

Liu Wen is a very lucky girl. Not only did Karl Lagerfeld fall in love with her look, but Jean Paul Gaultier was taken aback by the beauty as well.

Born on January 27, 1988 in Yongzhou, a Chinese town in the Hunan province, Liu found her modeling path after competing in the New Silk Road World Model Contest during the summer of 2005.

With the Kaiser and JPG in her corner, Liu's career was officially launched. She's has appeared on the covers of magazines like Chinese Marie Claire, Chinese Vogue Beauty, Chinese Elle, and in the pages of magazines like Teen Vogue, Flair, British Harper's Bazaar, and i-D.

Her consistent runway work speaks for itself, as she's walked down the runways of each fashion capital, having worked with designers like Jason Wu, BCBG Max Azria, Rag & Bone, Alexander Wang, Erin Fetherston, Carolina Herrera, Marc Jacobs, Derek Lam, and Narciso Rodriguez. Plus she's been featured in ad campaigns for DKNY, Bennetton, Diane von Furstenberg, and Calvin Klein's One.

In between all of her impressive work, she also has a major accomplishment to add to her résumé: She is the first Asian model to walk in the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
