LIU WEN, 22

After landing the cover of Chinese FHM in May 2007, she scored a spread in the Chinese edition of Cosmopolitan styled by Karl Lagerfeld and Viktor and Rolf, no less. She moved to Paris in 2008 and made her international debut walking for Chanel, Hermes and Jean Paul Gaultier.

For the spring/summer 2009 season, she appeared in seven major campaigns, including Barney?s New York, DKNY Jeans and Gap.

The 1.79m Hunan native will probably be best remembered as the first East Asian to walk the Victoria's Secret fashion show last November.
