Question

【题目】No fashion event captivates the world quite like the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. In November 2017, more than 55 models descended upon Shanghai for the lingerie (内衣) maker’s first show in Asia. Victoria’s Secret cast eight Chinese models for the show, including Liu Wen, double the number that walked in 2016.

Liu Wen, a Chinese fashion model, started her modeline career in 2005 after competing in the reality TV show New Silk Road World Model Contest. Although she did not win the competition, Liu soon began working full-time as a model, eventually becoming a national success story after working with fashion magazines like Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar that are popular in China, In 2007, she was signed to the Marilyn agency, and has since walked for Burberry, Givenchy, Chanel, Tom Ford, Proenza Schooler and Tommy Hilfiger.

Liu walked a record 74 shows in New York, London, Milan and Paris for the autumn/winter 2009 season, followed by 70 for spring/summer 2010, making her the second most-booked catwalk model that year. She has also notched up 15 international Vogue covers to date.

In 2009, Liu became the first woman of Chinese descent to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Liu also participated in the 2010-2012 shows. She returned to the Victoria’s Secret runway again in 2016.

In the past, Liu has said that after modeling she might enjoy working as a stylist or, were the opportunity to arise, as an actress — she feels that modeling and acting have much in common, but for now she enjoys modeling and working in the fashion industry. She has stated that she knows that, as a career choice, working as a fashion designer or stylist would be “very hard work”, but she is now more seriously considering becoming a stylist because she would like “to share her fashion style — tomboyish, vintage, and comfortable— with the world”.
