Chinese model Liu Wen may have landed on Vogue’s Top 10 models list, but it’s another Asian supermodel making history. Fei Fei Sun or Fei Fei for short is now a pioneer with her January 2013 cover for Italian Vogue. It’s the first time in the publication’s history that a solo Asian model has landed on the cover. French Vogue, however, was the first to have a Chinese cover model in 2011 when Du Juan was front and center. Neither UK nor U.S. Vogue editions have yet.
23-year-old Fei Fei has a long list of credits to her name including catwalk appearances for Vivienne Westwood, Miu Miu and Dries van Noten to name a few. She’s the face of DKNY’s Be Delicious fragrance and Calvin Klein’s One. Check out Fei Fei’s retro-inspired fashion spread shot by famed photographer Steven Meisel. Personally, I love it. It’s mod but with a contemporary feel. The hair and make-up people did a fantastic job.

Which North Korean prison camp did she come from? Seriously, her hands and arms look like a skeleton.
There’s something wrong in the world where those 85 pounds are considered ‘sexy’.

Fei Fei is hands down one of the most elegant/chic/beautiful asian models right now, it’s great to see her on the cover of the best fashion magazine on this planet: Vogue Italia.

How can in an industry full of supposed creative types that racists 1st like this are still unearthed? AND still no Asian models (or actresses) on the cover of American Vogue? Granted there are numerous Asian nations with Vogue editions but most have white cover models. Sales in of Asia retail and luxury goods market must be enormous. This is unacceptable!

Did they Photoshop her features for the cover to make her look caucasian?

In the words of Patsy, from AbFab: ” I am thin and GORGEOUS???” that’s what this girl’s motto should be.
