Me Magazine - Hong Kong

Would you ever guess that this cover and editorial were shot inside a store? While attending a Longchamp store opening in Hong Kong a few months ago, the creative team behind Me Magazine cleared a bit of space and set up this impromptu photo shoot. Add a little lighting, a backdrop, and me… voila!

L’Officiel China - Behind the scenes

Everyone does a behind-the-scenes video to go along with their cover and editorial these days, but this one I thought was especially well put together! Video by Di Di Lin and music by Icona Pop.

L’Officiel - China

I’ve had such an overwhelming amount of support over the last few years from my Chinese friends on Tencent Weibo and Sina Weibo, who now number over 4 million strong! I’m so happy to have this Jun Liu shot editorial available in China right now. Stay tuned for the cover, interview and behind-the-scenes video.

PART 1: HONG KONG IN 48 HOURS - October 16th, 2012

This week I joined Longchamp’s Cassegrain family in Hong Kong for a whirlwind 48-hour tour of the city and to help open their new store on Canton Road. The store, now the biggest in the world, marks 30+ years of Longchamp in Asia.

  1. Driving into Hong Kong felt like entering Tron City!
  2. Hong Kong at night is spectacular - so much color and so many lights, it puts the New York skyline to shame!
  3. Sooo… I just got into my hotel room using my Longchamp key card only to find what playing on TV? The campaign Emily Didonato and I did for Longchamp! I’m sensing a theme here…
  4. Look at all these presents! I’m a very lucky girl!
  5. Just got the newspaper. As you can tell we are ALL about Longchamp today!
  6. Had a sneak peak at the new Canton Rd flagship and did a little photoshoot on-site. Tonight is the official opening!
  7. Amazing old ferry boats in Hong Kong harbor.
  8. You wouldn’t know it, but we are only about 10 minutes from the city of Hong Kong here.
  9. Chinese signs.

I’m on my way to China right now for Longchamp and am thinking of one of my first-ever times in China at age 7. No, I didn’t know this little boy - he just came up and held my hand for his parents’ picture! I felt like Mickey Mouse! I even told my mom we should charge people a Yuan per picture. Little did I know one day that pay-for-picture business plan would really pay off! :)

CHINA - The next social media frontier.After over 2 years on Twitter I recently hit a huge milestone - 200,000 followers. That might be a drop in the bucket if you’re Lady Gaga or Kim Kardashian, but I never thought that many people would be interested in what I have to say. Twitter has been an amazing way for me to reach out to others, and as a service it’s uniting people from all around the world. Except, of course, in a few countries where it’s banned. One of those countries in particular happens to have 1.3 billion citizens: China.As an experiment back in October, I signed up for the Chinese equivalent of Twitter, a service called Tencent Weibo, and I was shocked at the results. In just over 2 months of using the service, I now have over 100,000 new friends in China. At this rate I imagine that this number will surpass my twitter followers within a few weeks. I really had no idea that there was such a huge crowd of people in China interested in the life of a high fashion model, but I’m very happy to have found them half the world away!
