Liu Wen Quotations

In my school days, everyone thought I'm too tall for a Chinese girl.

My hometown is a very boring city. There isn't a lot of industry - there are a lot of trees. It's not like Beijing where the sky is always dark. In my city the sky is blue and the sun shines.

My favourite city is Miami. It's very fresh and the beach is sunny.

I collect a lot of eco-friendly shopping bags that serve to separate my shoes other and other small stuff in my luggage.

When I'm studying English I love to watch 'Friends' or 'Nikita.'

I never wore high heels in my hometown.

I'm not that big a celebrity. I'm just an ordinary person.

Every makeup artist or stylist with whom I work has many special ideas, tips, and creations. I can always learn so much from them.

Romantic music really stirs my soul. And, of course, I love Chinese music; it makes me feel closer to home.

Striped shirts and printed shorts, jeans, and trousers are all items I buy and wear a lot in my private life.

The first time at Louis Vuitton was Spring 2009 season, and I remember that the colors of the clothes were very dreamy.

I used to see Estee Lauder's ads everywhere in the subways of Beijing, and I thought how wonderful it would be if the model on them was myself!

Fashion is a good job for a young girl. I like clothes - I like to play with clothes. I like DIY; I like to make outfit.

I don't use any makeup if I'm not doing work.

My parents are very humble people who have simple lives... they live in a pleasant little town in China.

No one else in my family works in the fashion industry.

Romantic music really stirs my soul. And, of course, I love Chinese music it makes me feel closer to home.

People in my hometown seldom called me piao liang, [beautiful] because my smaller eyes were a far cry from the wide irises of the most beloved television actresses.

The challenge for me, and for Asian models in general has been convincing editors, stylists and photographers that we can have mass appeal, but Asian, especially Chinese models have become a stronger presence. Just a season or two ago, there weren't many models for me to talk with backstage in my native Mandarin. Now I usually have no trouble finding someone at any show.

I like clothes - I like to play with clothes. I like DIY; I like to make outfit.
