Closet Copycat: Liu Wen

Having been recently appointed as one of the new faces of Estee Lauder together with Constance Jablonski and making history as the first Chinese face for the brand, Liu Wen seems to be successfully climbing the ranks in the global modeling industry. Not only does she have a fierce walk, she also has a mean sense of style.

The statuesque Chinese beauty has been making waves in the past months with her strong showing at fashion weeks around the world, walking for approximately 70 different labels this Spring/Summer 2010 season. Liu Wen's even climbed in ranking at the industry website Models.com chart of the Top 50 models, coming in at a very respectable number eleven. Rather impressive given her initial dream of working as a tour guide in China!

With her dimples and high cheekbones as her best accessory, Liu Wen rocks a style that can best be described as layered-up street chic. Her lanky self is often tucked into leather boots, be it vintage studded or Dr. Martens.

She's not one to shy away from colours, though she never lets wild prints and bright colours overpower her frame. Liu Wen's signature piece of closet item would be a blazer which she wears to utmost perfection. She shows how a simple outfit can be dressed up with an additional layer of cool.

To steal her style, we used one blazer from Gossips Boutique and worked it to deliver two looks - one slightly formal and the other oozing with street chic.

If we are to take away anything from observing Liu Wen's style is to always have fun with clothing, pairing unlikely prints together with each other for an unexpected colourful effect. Also one must never underestimate the power of a good blazer and boot combo!
