East, Southeast, and South Asian models have been leading the way and influencing the industry for decades, yet have in the past been seen as filling \u201ccasting quotas\u201d or what\u2019s worse, forgotten entirely. Continuing our Through The Decades series<\/a>, we are spotlighting Asian model trailblazers from as early as the 50s who\u2019ve displayed monumental milestones throughout the eras and may or may not be on your radar. Whether you\u2019re on Fashion Spot pouring over model history or interested in learning something new, this continuous list highlights how these pillars of model history started in the industry, climbed to notoriety, and some of their major claims to fame.<\/p>\n
