The life span of a single work\u2013\u2013an editorial, a campaign, a show, a stint\u2013\u2013is shorter for it. Fashion&#8217;s only unconditional term is the future: operating a year ahead, after all. So, in an industry where change and relevancy are the full stops at the end of every sentence, Models.com wanted to highlight individuals who add permanence to the community\u2013some at their start and some at their top. Photographer Ben Hassett gets up close and personal for Models.com with the creative forces often behind the scenes. They are the Industry, Now.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For a makeup artist, a lasting impression must be left in an instant. The best allow each image to seemingly reach a finale even though, for them, beauty is an unending story. For instance, Vietnam-born <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/Hung-Vanngo\">Hung Vanngo<\/a>, now a Canadian-transplant in New York City is no stranger to making the new feel familiar both in life and his career in the fashion industry which began in the early 2000s. His work insists excellence is about controlling what can be, say a perfect lip, and winks that underneath there is more to the story, something less empirical. His fidelity to well-rounded prettiness has made the makeup artist a popular pick for Vogues, Harper\u2019s Bazaars, i-D, and Allure. Whoever calls on his talents for that matter: be it Marc Jacobs, Lanc\u00f4me, Calvin Klein or Models.com from time to time. Naturally, Hung has garnered a heavy rotation of A-list celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Selena Gomez. With each new leg of his career a layer is added to his lasting impression. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"txtbox\">\n<p><strong>What has allowed you to stay true to a personal vision as the industry trials ways to adapt to modern challenges?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve always been the type of person who has been open to new ventures and changes. When I was a child, I moved from Vietnam to a refugee camp in Thailand, afterward moving to Calgary, then to Toronto, and finally to New York City. So for me, staying true to myself is staying open. I was brought up learning to adapt to new situations and new challenges, which has always allowed me to have an open mind and face adversity head-on. Being true to myself and my personal vision goes hand in hand with change and challenge\u2013\u2013it\u2019s my personality and the values that are ingrained in me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have the reasons you started doing what you do changed along the way?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, they have, but I\u2019m happy to embrace that change. My first and always love has been fashion. When I first began in the industry, I thought I was only going to do makeup for fashion and that was the driving factor behind my work. About six or seven years ago, I started doing some celebrity work and my career shifted. Now, I\u2019m loving the balance of doing both, while staying true to my first love of fashion but embracing these newer outlets of celebrity work and the motivations for doing that as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was the turning point in your career?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I know there are mixed feelings about social media amongst the fashion community and I understand that perspective. However, for me, I feel the rise of the social platform has made a huge difference in my career in terms of the exposure I now get worldwide. Social media allows such a large variety of people to see me and my work and it is a platform that can bring about major contracts and bookings that might not have been possible before.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Industry, Now HUNG VANNGO HUNG VANNGO Portrait by Ben Hassett for Models.com #IndustryNow The cycles of social media impel us to embrace then move on from trends and discourses faster than ever before.
