Du Juan

she is the first and  Asian model  to appear in pairs vogue magazine . She is one of the few Asian models that made a international success in model industry. she was born in China in architect parents, when she was young she practiced dancing ballet, her mother have encouraged her to be a model. when she was 17 years old she participated in Ford supermodel competition in China, Du Juan won rank one and the year 2003 she won the title of Miss China. After a year of winning the title of Miss China she withdraw from dancing ballet and started to be full-time model. After year of signing a contract with IMG her success had started, she had being in the most famous magazine cover from different countries therefore Du Juan have being the open and close the fashion shows for many international designers.  Moreover, Du Juan have became the face of some of brands such as Armani and she also walked in many runways for designers like Oscar de la Renta, Zac Posen, Christian Dior, and other.   I believe there are many great Asian models but she stays the only one to appear in the french vogue magazine which is really amazing. moreover, she is the most model to appear in the Chinese Vogue magazine which is really  surprising because there is many models that they can choose to be in the cover magazine from different countries. I think it is impressive and is really great. I think she is a smart girl by knowing at a young age knowing what to give up on and what to continue in doing. she stopped dancing ballet as result she is full-time job model. I think people at young age will not know what is better for them especially if they spend years in doing that thing and then they start to do something is new for them. At last, she is a person that have achieved many things that was something to look-up to for her success in the model industry.
