I came to this field on my own. After finishing my study at a fashion institute in Milan, I sent Fabbrica Milano some of my pictures, which were mostly school editorial assignments that I shot as a model for some schoolmates. Then I got signed, fortunately.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best modeling experience so far?<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;d probably be doing nothing until now if I didn&#8217;t start modeling in the first place. It happened in a very special period of my life when I was struggling with my bipolar disorder. Not exaggerating that &#8216;modeling saved my life&#8217; but I personally do believe this job has been helping me a lot to build up my personality, I&#8217;ve seen myself getting stronger and tougher since. After modeling, I wish to open a farm or a bookstore with my friends, a space where everyone is welcomed and homed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Currently you&#8217;re obsessed with\/about:<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;m currently obsessed with the ukulele, I bring it with me anywhere I go. It&#8217;s a handy musical instrument\/toy, highly recommended for travel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the best thing about your hometown\/country?<\/strong><br \/>\nNoodles! My hometown Shanxi is famous for noodles, in China it&#8217;s well-known as &#8220;the origin of Noodles&#8221; or &#8220;the Province of Noodles&#8221; &#8212; there are hundreds of types of noodles there. If you are a noodle-lover you definitely need to give it a try.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the best piece of advice you\u2019ve ever been given?<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;Everyone has their own time zone.&#8221; We are all set in this high-speed society where people rush living their lives. Many believe there are certain patterns that tell you at what age you have to accomplish certain things otherwise you&#8217;re going to fall behind. I consider this as false instead, it&#8217;s more important to get to know yourself and always keep your own pace. We are very much on time in our own time zone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maggie Cheng was photographed exclusively for MODELS.com by Michael Bowie, with styling by Lorenzo Garzelli, hair &amp; makeup by Mio Iguchi.
