"But the global industries spring/summer 08 show season from August to early November, that will require models, such as the... -Florida Focus (premium accessories)- Aug 5-6 -Moda Manhattan - Aug 5-7 -Coopenhagen Fashion Week - Aug 9-12 ...and the one that's on every Fratboy's calender... -New York Lingerie Fashion Week - Aug 5-7" thanks for the research effort, but, these two are not lingerie models.

Gracia, sorry I only had the information on her agency's call card and MVA verified Fashion Models Directory profile to go by with where in China she was from. Both said that she was born in Guangdong.

Correct, but I wasn't just refering to the established New York, London, Paris, Milan fashion weeks in September.

btw, Mo is from Guangxi autonomous region, not Guangdong. I met her in person several years ago.

just a correction: Pei Bei 裴蓓 wasn't featured along actresses Zhou Xun & Dong Jie in the Miu Miu autumn 06 ads - it was another Japanese actress whose name escapes me now. The only association Pei has with Miu Miu is walking the recent fall/winter 07 show which was her debut season in the West. ps: Mo is based in Beijing rather, and SS08 shows begin in September. :P

O my this is embarassing, yeah sorry i did get the names swapped around when i posted. sorry (will correct). And it was Bei Pei who did the "Autumn/Winter 06/07" campaign for. This then naturally led onto her and Mo being invited to do Spring/Summer 07 Haute-Couture for Christian Dior which has now cemented their reputations. Thanks for the correcting me.

^the Miu Miu fall/winter 07/08 campaign, i mean. it's usually still an industry 'secret' at this time, so i'm curious how you'd know Pei Bei's is confirmed!

it is actually Mo Wandan who walked for Vivienne Westwood, and Pei Bei for Miu Miu. and are you sure it is not the Fall/Winter 2007/08 campaign Pei currently has a spot in? the S/S campaign was with L.Lohan. From which source did you get this info regarding the campaigns? thanks.
