In the international fashion circle, mainland supermodels with status and influence include Liu Wen, He Sui, Ming Xi, and Qin Shupei. Although they have the professional demeanor of models and the advantage of being naturally beautiful, time is equal for everyone. These supermodels have unknowingly reached their thirties, with Ming Xi and Qin Shupei already married and mothers. Does this mean there will be a gap in Chinese supermodels, with no new talents emerging?
For those familiar with the supermodel circle, you might say, “And there’s He Cong!” Yes, He Cong, with her ethereal high-fashion face, is also a Chinese model who has been popular on the international T-stage in recent years. However, what I’m introducing to you now is not He Cong, but another new name: Xie Chaoyu!
Born in 1998, Jie Chaoyu, who initially was just an English major student from Yunnan, was unexpectedly discovered and groomed into a new generation supermodel in a short period of time. In 2018, at only 19 years old, she made her debut on the international fashion week runway, stunning the fashion world with her cool and elegant demeanor. That same year, she also walked for JW. Anderson, Simone Rocha, Prada, Givenchy, and Fendi, quickly rising to become a new generation Chinese supermodel.
After walking 8 major international fashion week runways in 2018, Jie Chaoyu has become a new favorite in the fashion industry. Prada and Sonia Rykiel have directly chosen this new face to appear in brand advertisements, as well as on the covers of several international fashion magazines. The rapidly rising Jie Chaoyu even made it onto Models.com’s The Hot List and Top Newcomers list, making her the fastest-rising Asian model in history! Remember her name? Jie Chaoyu – China’s new generation supermodel!
