How Victoria’s Secret Came To Dominate The Lingerie Market

(CNN) – Four years ago Liu Wen entered a modeling contest in China to win a computer to use for school. Little did she know it would lead her to the Victoria's Secret runway in New York.

Wen, who will appear in the Victoria's Secret fashion show airing Tuesday on CBS, will be the first Victoria's Secret model of Asian descent to walk the catwalk, the company said.

Although her walk down the runway will be a first for Victoria's Secret,Wen is part of a growing trend for Asian models worldwide that began several years ago with Devon Aoki.== The past few seasons of fashion shows have featured Asian models on almost every high-end runway.

She is considered as an icon in the fashion industry by models.com.[3] In 2017, Dominic Cadogan of Dazed called Aoki a"cult model"and "one of the most recognisable alternative faces of the 90s".[5] Cadogan continued by saying,"by the time she was 16, she was one of the most in-demand girls of the moment,with some of the industry's top photographers (including Juergen Teller, Ellen von Unwerth and Nick Knight) all transforming her in their images."[5] In April 2019, Marie Claire listed her as one of the 15 supermodels of the 2000s who changed the face of fashion.[23]
