Chinese beauty Hejia Li was first scouted at age 17 in her hometown of Wenzhou in China's southeast province of Zhejian. Although Hejia always loved the idea of the fashion industry, she was quite the athlete growing up skateboarding and playing basketball in her high school team. After Hejia made her first runway debut in China with Matthieu Blazy's Bottega Veneta a/w 23 Beijing show ,she stands out as the star of Spring Summer 2024 collections with an impeccable selection 27 shows globally including Proenza Schouler, Khaite, Michael Kors, Fendi, Gucci, Versace, Bottega Veneta, Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Chanel and more.
Happy to see her again on the runway, but I have to admit I'm a little disappointed to see her look softer all around. You can see it in her cheeks and arms, both of which don't look as sculpted as they did when she debuted. She's still very new to modeling, so hopefully she doesn't let herself go; otherwise, she'll just become a poor man's Liu Wen
