The beauty and the grace of Du Juan

A super chinese model. Du Juan made her runway debut in Spring 2006 walking for Valentino, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Roberto Cavalli and Chanel. In 2005 she became the first Asian cover-model of Vogue Paris and since this happened she was feautured for many adv campaing such as Louis Vuitton, Roberto Cavalli, Swarovski, Yvs St. Laurent. Style.com declared her one of the top ten models to watch for the fall 2006 and she became one of the most acclamed chinese models, gracing in the cover of the premier issue of Vogue China.

Largely absent from Europe in recent seasons, Du Juan spends her time between NYC and her native Shanghai (two cities that I love!!). We hope Due will come back soon in our catwalks!
