China’s economy has been booming for decades and not only industries like energy, automobile and steel/coal are keeping the economy up. There is one other industry that has been emerging over the past years: the Chinese fashion industry!
The China Fashion Week in Beijing as well as special Fashion Weeks in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Tianjin are held yearly attracting Western visitors. The next China Fashion Week will be held form October 25 to November 1st presenting the 2014 Spring/Summer collections of various designers, such as Zeng Fengfei, SimonGao, Jefen Xie Feng and many many more.
Presenting Chinese haute couture is definitely determined by more Chinese models than actual Western models. Especially, Chinese male models have gained international interest in the last few years. The most striking ones are Rui Wang, Liu Chang, Hao Yun Xiang and Zhao Lei.
So let’s take a look at those four gentlement in a nutshell:

Of course, those four gentlemen are not the only male models in China and by far not the only very attractive individuals the country has to offer. A lot of people keep asking me what I like about Asian guys and the prejudice of Asians being too short and not that handsome keep existing – wrongfully so.
