Fly Models Mgt (mother agency)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Height:<\/strong><br \/>\n5&#8217;9.5&#8243;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Place of Origin:<\/strong><br \/>\nTaipei, Taiwan<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ethnic Origin:<\/strong><br \/>\nTaiwanese<\/p>\n<p><strong>Birthsign:<\/strong><br \/>\nSagittarius<\/p>\n<p><strong>How discovered:<\/strong><br \/>\nI was scouted by a new Taiwanese designer Cephas Cheng. He graduated from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and he used to work at Alexander McQueen in London. When he came back to Taiwan to build his own   brand \u2018beCHPHAS\u2019, he choose me to be on his image video and walk for his show in Shanghai. With his support   and encouragement I decide to go abroad. Then I met my mother agency Fly Models Mgt, my booker Francisco and   his team sent me to Milan where I started my international career. There I got my first campaign for Armani Jeans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite things:<\/strong><br \/>\nI like lighting up my candle and listening to music relaxing or just practicing meditation. Also I really enjoy cooking. I can\u2019t live without chili pepper. Love all kinds of chili pepper.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite music, band:<\/strong><br \/>\nJazz or movie soundtracks.  The xx, Desert Chang, Miyazaki Hayao, Billie Holiday<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite movie, tv show:<\/strong><br \/>\nAll the movies from Miyazaki Hayao. Friends. The Big Bang Theory<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:<\/strong><br \/>\nChloe Love and Diptyque. I\u2019ve been using Guerlain Orchid eye cream for a long time. It\u2019s really amazing! Saved my panda eyes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What would you be doing if you weren&#8217;t modeling?<\/strong><br \/>\nIf I weren\u2019t a model, I might be a graphic designer or actress. I\u2019d like to build a green animal shelter hostel to help homeless animals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s something uncool that you love anyway?<\/strong><br \/>\nQuipao and old advertising print, old accessories . Or any  other old things. Like toys, clothes from grandmother\u2019s closet. Mostly when I bring those thing home my Mom or friends will say those things are junk from dead people will bring bad luck. But I love those things with stories and memories.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite modeling experience so far?<\/strong><br \/>\nI appreciate every job I done. Traveling around the world and get to work with different team from different country is such a wonderful creativity thing to do. Recently I just did Vogue Italia and Vogue China, shooting with other Asian girls is lots of fun. Usually l work alone. Get a call time, location, then just packing and catch the flight. So it\u2019s really nice to have group shooting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the best thing about your hometown\/country?<\/strong><br \/>\nSpicy hot pot and Shabu Shabu. Foot Therapy. Free WIFI everywhere. People in Taiwan are very friendly and kind. It\u2019s a beautiful island where you can meet lovely people and great food.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which brand would you really love to model for?<\/strong><br \/>\nArmani, YSL, Steven Meisel, Chen Man. Also I\u2019d really love to have a shooting with Ang Lee. Though he is a film director\u2026 But I\u2019m interested in what comes through his eyes in a freeze moment on photo. What kind of story will he tell through fashion shooting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Place you would love to visit:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe moon.  Cause I could see our beautiful earth and jump-walking like I am flying.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Currently you&#8217;re obsessed with\/about:<\/strong><br \/>\nFurniture. Such as classic designer&#8217;s chair collection.  Vintage sofa. Danish table\u2026 etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lover of chilli peppers, vintage furniture, and Miyazaki Hayao movies, Gia Tang, from Taiwan, is the latest newcomer to nab Model of the Week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":45289,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,10],"tags":[3313,3314,1335,2116,1975,3052,271,2944,3253,2457,2279,3720],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45281"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45281"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45281\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45341,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45281\/revisions\/45341"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45289"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
