n September 2007, Liu caught the attention of the international fashion industry when she shot an editorial in clothes designed by Karl Lagerfeld and Viktor and Rolfand would later walk for both of those brands. She was invited to Paris in 2008 to sign with an agency and participate in Paris Fashion Week.

In February 2008, she appeared in four fashion-related articles for Chinese Vogue. She debuted on international runways in the same month, walking for Burberry and closing the fall Trussardishow in Milan. The week after, she walked for Chanel, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Hermès in Paris.[2] A year later in February and March 2009, Liu Wen appeared in 74 shows in New York, London, Milan, and Paris for the Fall 2009 ready-to-wear season — this was the highest number shows for a model in that season. It also remains the record for the most shows ever walked by a model of Asian descent in a single season. She followed that up with the Spring 2010 ready-to-wear season, walking 70 shows in the same four cities. This statistic made her the second most booked model for the season following French model Constance Jablonski.

Liu has appeared in campaigns for Calvin Klein, Dolce & Gabbana, Roberto Cavalli, Oscar de la Renta, Hugo Boss, Alexander Wang, Rag & Bone, H&M, Marni, Lane Crawford, Bergdorf Goodman, Diesel, Gap, and Vivienne Tam.

In April 2010, it was announced that Liu along with Constance Jablonski and Joan Smalls would help to represent the cosmetics company Estée Lauder.[25] In March 2012, The New York Times featured Liu Wen on the cover and in the main feature for their Style "T" Magazine's Travel Issue, and she was dubbed "China’s first bona fide supermodel".[5] In the same year, she attended the Cannes Film Festival for the first time. In Spring 2013, Liu Wen was dubbed one of "The New Icons" by H&M for her widely admired street-style.

In 2013 she also became the first Asian to be in the top five on Forbes' list of the world's highest-paid models, as number 5. She repeated the feat in 2014, with her salary rising from $4.3 million the previous year to $7 million.Also in 2013, Liu gained a rank of #3 on the Top 50 Models Women List by Models.com.She is the highest-ranked model of Asian descent in history.

Liu Wen has garnered a heavy social media following on platforms such as Instagram and Weibo. The immensity of her audience led American Vogue to dub her as a leader in the digital movement, saying in their April 2014 issue, in an article about social media’s rise in the fashion industry, that "Liu also has, by far, the biggest social-media audience of any model".Models.com dubbed her the first ever Asian "New Supermodel" in July 2014.

In October of the same year, Liu became the first person in the world to showcase an Apple Watch on a magazine cover when she appeared on Vogue China's November 2014 issue.

Later on, in January 2011, Liu Wen signed a contract with Estée Lauder – an American multinational that manufactures high-end beauty products. This development allowed Wen to become more involved in the United States. The New York Times in 2012 published a photo of Wen on the cover of the Style "T" Magazine's Travel Issue.[36] In 2013, Wen was listed on the Forbes magazine as being among the highest-paid supermodels globally.[37] In 2014, the supermodel was also on Forbes’ list, with the report mentioned that the model had earned approximately $7 million in 2013 alone from her modeling contracts.[38] Moreover, the article also indicated that Wen had a strong presence on social media, with over 2.7 million followers on Instagram and 18 million followers on Weibo. During the same year, Wen marketed the Apple Watch and attained the title of the first East Asian supermodel to work in such a capacity for Apple, Inc.

As a model, Wen has been associated with several major global brands. Examples of brands that have featured Wen in their marketing efforts include Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss, Roberto Cavalli, and Dolce & Gabbana.[39] The model has also marketed products manufactured by Gap, H&M, Prada, and Bergdorf Goodman. Also, Chanel Beauty – a French company that produces luxury clothes and accessories – has appointed Wen as its global ambassador. These engagements have contributed significantly to Wen's growth as a professional in her modeling career.

Currently, Wen resides in New York. The model has previously indicated that she is yet to consider having romantic relations and that she is more focused on pursuing her career. The supermodel also enjoys traveling, and she created a hashtag on Instagram titled #WenInFlight and which documents her experiences across the world. Moreover, the model has also participated in acting stints that have enabled her to feature in dating shows. In 2018, Wen was criticized by Chinese online users for affiliating herself with other countries and forgetting her heritage. The incident took place following a post by the supermodel on social media. Nonetheless, Wen has managed to avoid controversy throughout her modeling career and the first Asian model to ever make Forbes




magazine's annual highest-paid models list.

A Romantic Hypothesis Runway Couture & RTW 2024

A Romantic Hypothesis Runway Couture & RTW 2024 Over time, the practice of patterning evolved to encompass a hierarchical approach, serving as a fundamental template for the creation of garments. Initially, patterning was primarily geared towards the production of utilitarian attire for ordinary households, while those with considerable means leveraged it to imbue their personal style with opulence. With the continuous advancements in technology and the availability of resources, the commercial aspects of patterning have substantially streamlined, relegating its artisanal aspects to relative obscurity. In this transformation, the discerning eye of fashion consumers shifted away from appreciating craftsmanship, gravitating more towards the innovative and artistic direction set by brands. Patterns serve as crucial visual representations, illustrating the precise construction methods for various items. The responsibility of the pattern drafter lies in ensuring that these drawings are not only comprehensible but also faithfully represent the pertinent information, a task demanding a combination of technical expertise and creative acumen. Patterning is a complex process that unfolds on a two-dimensional canvas, comprising a network of lines and curves, meticulously guiding the transformation of these flat templates into intricate three-dimensional garments. This architectural approach to fashion design is pivotal in ensuring that garments conform seamlessly to the wearer’s physique. Patterning, in itself, is a highly skilled art, demanding a mastery of technical expertise.The journey from a rudimentary sketch to the final realization of a garment follows a well-defined pipeline. The initial concept takes shape through a preliminary sketch, eventually evolving into a meticulously drafted pattern. Throughout this intricate journey, there exists a captivating interplay of abstraction. While one can envision the design taking form, the garment remains, as yet, an unrealized vision. The transition from conceptual design to the drafting phase significantly influences how the final garment will manifest. Creative patterning is the position that allows a design to achieve its highest potential. It deftly weaves together the realms of abstraction and tangible design, navigating the fine line between what appears to be present and what is yet to be materialized. In this process, the alphanumeric pattern paper serves as both a void and a blueprint—a blank canvas awaiting the design’s manifestation. Detaching a vital element of a garment and leaving it bare. The garments emerge from this abstract void, seamlessly adorning the body. This progression encapsulates the stages a design undergoes, bypassing the final product stage. It underscores the absence of incompleteness in the initial collection, underscoring the indispensable and symbiotic relationship between the designer and the pattern maker. Romanticizing with the concept of abstraction and what is tangible by hypothesizing, until it is bestowed upon us.
