The bubbly muse kicks off a spirited tour in Chinatown, as she revisits her New York roots while reflecting on her journey from a Models.com discovery to a life balanced between fashion\u2019s global stage and home in Shanghai. Once a fixture of the New York scene, Xiao Wen returned east as an only child eager to be closer to her family and raise one of her own. It hasn\u2019t slowed her momentum, as over the past decade, she has cemented her place in modeling history with breakthrough campaigns for Prada, Marc Jacobs, Loewe, and Fendi. Her runway appearances have been equally as high-profile as she still hits milestones, such as her recent worldwide exclusive with Miu Miu this March, more than ten years after first walking for the brand. With celebrated covers for Vogue China, Vogue Italia, and i-D under her belt, Xiao Wen has firmly established herself as a global force in fashion. At home, she continues to shape the language of modern Chinese imagery through striking collaborations with Chen Man, Leslie Zhang, Jumbo Tsui, and Theo Liu. Now, with her signature warmth and an abiding love for hidden retail gems, she guides us through some of the spaces that inspire her most, captured by director <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/will-pippin\">Will Pippin<\/a> in a portrait of an icon whose story bridges continents.<\/p>\n<div class=\"introcredits\">\nEditor in Chief: <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/stephan-moskovic\">Stephan Moskovic<\/a><br \/>\nEditorial Director and Interviewer: <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/irene-ojo-felix\">Irene Ojo-Felix<\/a><br \/>\nDirector &#038; Video editor: <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/will-pippin\">Will Pippin<\/a><br \/>\nCinematographer: <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/anyelo-troya\">Anyelo Troya<\/a><br \/>\nFirst Assistant Camera: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/k.a.l.b.o.9.9.9\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Luis Jaramillo<\/a><br \/>\nComposer: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/22lovesyou\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">22<\/a><br \/>\nLocations: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hommegirls.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">HommeGirls<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandyliang.info\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sandy Liang<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/komune.space\/?srsltid=AfmBOooeUtsQQFOWQRw03sA7d5S2NBThCxvKsEIK_D8WYhJWF6VzMB2L\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Komune<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metropolisvintagenyc.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Metropolis Vintage<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/nineorchard.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nine Orchard Hotel<\/a><br \/>\nSpecial Thanks: <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/IMG\">IMG New York<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hommegirls.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">HommeGirls<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandyliang.info\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sandy Liang<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/komune.space\/?srsltid=AfmBOooeUtsQQFOWQRw03sA7d5S2NBThCxvKsEIK_D8WYhJWF6VzMB2L\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Komune<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metropolisvintagenyc.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Metropolis Vintage<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/nineorchard.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nine Orchard Hotel<\/a>, and <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/christopher-michael\">Christopher Michael<\/a> at Egos &#038; Icons\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From NYC to Shanghai, Industry Icon Xiao Wen Ju Bridges Continents As OOOs switch off and summer takes its last laps, Models.com steps back into stride with our first story of the new season with Industry Icon Xiao Wen Ju.
