the star of so many campaigns, covers and editorials, that we don’t even know
where to start! So we’ll start at the beginning – what was your first big modeling
assignment?
my first season in NY, when I opened the Ralph Lauren show and then went on
to star in the Ralph Lauren campaign
2011 Fall/Winter, that really opened a lot of doors for me.
Being on the
cover of Vogue China was also very special to me and of course now being
signed as the new face of Shiseido is amazing .. I mean who doesn’t want a
cosmetics contract ??!
PONY RYDER: When you
first came to NY, were you well prepared for the ups and downs of the Big Apple
and modeling life?
prepare for any ups and downs, I didn’t expect any big achievement… In fact I didn’t think about it, I came to NY just for
more expierences.
I had met my NY agent in September in Paris and then suddenly
it was January and I was in NY… He told me I was going to do great; that
all these people were asking to meet me, work with me but I just thought OK let’s see.
Honestly my English was very bad back then,
and it’s still not good now.
PONY RYDER: Who are your favorite friends
from the modeling world?
probably my closest model friend. We are always hanging out together during
shows or in NY .
It’s really important to have a friend by your side in this
business and it helps if it’s someone who understands the industry. Last winter
Shu Pei and her husband holidayed with my boyfriend and I .. We went to Thailand and it was amazing.
show in London – where we both had been given hairstyles that made our heads look
like huge mushrooms.
PONY RYDER: HAHAHA! YES! We saw! And what do you girls do? What does your typical night out look like?
would be dinner, laughs, a few drinks, maybe some dancing or karaoke.
Most
important thing to me to have a good night is to surround myself with good
people

| VS Show 2012 |
start working out seriously?
had free time.
were you preparing for the VS show?
SUI HE: I don’t prep too
much for the show, maybe a few days before I‘ll have a quick massage or sauna
and they always ask us to have a little spray tan before the show.
PONY RYDER: Do you own VS lingerie?
SUI HE: I love VS
lingerie, it fits so well and is such a great value for the money. I own lots of it, I actually can’t help popping into a VS store when I walk by one.

PONY RYDER: Tell us
your favorite shoe brands!
SUI HE: YSL, Celine, Balenciaga, Christian Dior, Jimmy Choo, Jil Sander, Alexander Wang are
my favourite brands.
handbags and also like to find a few hours during the shows in Paris to treat
myself with a new one but the problem always seems to be the same – I can’t decide what
colour to choose and then end up buying more than one. LOL
PONY RYDER: Lucky you! What are your go-to handbag brands?
Chanel, Celine, Fendi, Prada are my go to brands.

the cut and design of A.P.C, Balmain and Balenciaga Jeans.. I like low slung
and not too long length. I like the
look of the Isabel Marant jeans but have yet to try them on and see how they
fit.
your favorite cheaper brand of clothes?
can’t beat H&M, they have great affordable clothing with attention to
fashion design, I love to mix it with high–end designers.
I also discovered COS
while in London, which is really good. I hope they open in the USA soon.
Acne
is great and so is A.P.C..

your favorite collection by Shiseido?

Angela Cheung of Vogue China then I have help from the Shiseido team.

PONY RYDER: Silly
question but still… If you were about to marry tomorrow, which jewelry
brand would you like your ring to be?

I think the most important thing is not where it comes from but
from who and that it comes with love and commitment.
