A line of Asian models took the first steps down his cubicle-lined runway at Cond\u00e9 Nast&#8217;s old offices. It wasn&#8217;t a few speckled in to add an air of inclusivity, it was in the twenties out of the forty-four look Fall show. Yep, more than you can count on two people&#8217;s hands, nearly half. The first 10 came out in succession: <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/models\/chunjie-liu\">Chunjie Liu<\/a>, Chuyan He, <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/models\/shujing-zhou\">Shujing Zhou<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/models\/su-kexin\">Su Kexin<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/models\/ling-tan\">Ling Tan<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/models\/ez-x\">EZ <\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/models\/chen-siqi\">Chen Siqi<\/a>, <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/models\/Sora-Choi\">Sora Choi<\/a> and <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/models\/xie-chaoyu\">Xie Chaoyu<\/a>. Closing the show was <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/models\/sohyun-jung\">Sohyun Jung<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The show\u2019s official opener Chunjie gave us the first taste of Wang&#8217;s femme-fatale looks donning a pair of sunglasses and spiked gloves. Wang&#8217;s women meant business, an especially relevant message in this post #metoo world. Leading a Wang army is quite an epic start to a model\u2019s fashion month. Chun Jie comes from Henan China, and graduated last year from a university in Xi\u2019An where she studied interior design. \u201cI was scouted at a contest hosted by my (now) mother agency in Beijing in November 2016,\u201d says Chun Jie, \u201cA chance that changed me.\u201d Flash forward and she\u2019s walking for one of the buzziest shows in New York, one that&#8217;s often a game changer for girls holding exclusives like Chun Jie. \u201cI\u2019m very excited about the Alexander Wang show, I\u2019m really really really happy I got it,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Next for Chunjie? &#8220;I want to keep a good state of mind in my work and exercise my body to make my future better. come on!&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Special thanks to <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/agency\/Supreme-Management\">Supreme Management (New York)<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"centerimg\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2018\/02\/chunjie.jpg\"  data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2018\/02\/chunjie.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-103716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2018\/02\/chunjie.jpg 800w, https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2018\/02\/chunjie-427x640.jpg 427w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>See the full list of credits <a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/Work\/alexander-wang-alexander-wang-fw-18-show\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><!--pp-thumb-start--><!--PictPress found no dir \/2018\/02\/103652--><!--pp-thumb-end--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chunjie Liu opened one of New York&#8217;s buzziest shows<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":443,"featured_media":103653,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10414,2],"tags":[11234,11236,10959,11233,11230,10917,10802,9598,11232,1830,11077,11231],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103652"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/443"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103652"}],"version-history":[{"count":42,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103652\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":103794,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103652\/revisions\/103794"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103652"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
