The history of China’s fashion modeling industry would not be complete without mentioning Chen Juanhong, who is seen as the first Chinese model to go global. Born in Tongxiang, Zhejiang Province, Chen is a basketball player-turned professional model. She rose to fame in 1991 when she was crowned at the 2nd China Super Model Contest. One year later, she placed fourth at the 12th World Super Model Contest, making herself the first international supermodel from China in a real sense. Chen dazzled the audience with her cool but charming style on the catwalk. Chen has worked with many major fashion labels at home and abroad. Chen is now running her own model training school and modeling agency.
