Korean model Hyoni Kang got her start as the Ford Supermodel of the World winner in January 2008, and made her New York debut just a month later as she opened the 3.1 phillip lim Fall 2008 show. Seemlessly transitioning from runway to print, she landed her first cover of Korean Vogue in April. After opening Trovata's Spring show in September, she appeared in editorials for Harper's Bazaar, V, Spanish Vogue and, most recently, Marie Claire.

Chinese native Liu Wen of is most recognized for her being the first Asian to walk in the biggest lingerie show to grace the runway, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Liu got quiet a start thanks to past editorials in both Vogue China and Harpers Bazaar China, the former of which she's been featured in (or on) nearly 20 times. More recently, she signed on as the first Chinese Estee Lauder spokesmodel last year, the first ethnic model since 2003's Liya Kebede. We like to think it's because of her to-die-for cheekbones and contagious smile.

Tokyo-born Tao Okamoto is likely they only 21-year-old in the world who can successfully rock a bowl cut. Tao was first noticed when she appeared in the Dolce & Gabbana spring 2007 look book, but 2009 was Okamoto's big year she became one of the faces of Ralph Lauren, named "Girl of the Moment" by Teen Vogue in it's December/January issue and, most notably, Japanese Vogue dedicated their November 2009 issue to her. Despite skipping September 2008's fashion week, she reemerged as the 3.1 phillip lim opener in New York.

A former ballerina and Miss China title holder, Du Juan signed with IMG in 2005 and was featured on the premier issue of Chinese Vogue alongside Gemma Ward that same year. The two met up again for the cover of October French Vogue, lensed by Mario Testino. Juan became the face of Roberto Cavalli, Benetton, and, likely her most rewarding feat, replaced Agyness Deyn in 2008 as the face of Georgio Armani. Besides walking in Chanel's pre-fall show in Shanghai, Juan spent 2010 appearing in Chinese Vogue 5 times.

This Chinese model who once said, "I love my black hair but some times I'd like to be blond, but I don't think it suits Asian girl ... What a pity!" made her debut as the face of Givenchy in 2009, modeling exclusively for the spring couture show in Paris. Ming Xi was featured as a face to watch on Models.com in January 2010, and rightfully so she walked House of Holland, Christian Dior, Jil Sander, Pucci, Vivienne Westwood, Givenchy, Kenzo and John Galliano Fall shows in Paris, London and Milan. She landed her first cover in September of 2010, photographed by Peter Lindbergh for Chinese Vogue. Our advice to Ming Xi: Blond is Out!

She replaced Lily Donaldson as the face of MaxMara in July 2008. She's appeared on 6 covers, four times being Korean Vogue, with no signs of slowing down.
