Now that Condé Nast has launched GQ China (in October 2009), I hope to see more Asian male models getting work and recognition in the international scene.
Foreign markets can be risky but highly profitable. New York Magazine reported that Vanity Fair Italia was one of the most profitable magazines on Condé Nast stable of publications. Aside from revenues generated from the ad pages, the magazines are sold mostly from newsstands at full price (€4-€5).
In the US the revenues for publishers are generated primarily from ad pages where rates are determined by circulation numbers. So to beef up the circulation numbers, most magazines offer cheap annual subscriptions ($12-$19/year) to the readers.

He's jsut so handsome!!! Daniel and Philip are 2 of my few favourite male models right now. Just so charming!
ReplyDeleteAMB- LIU WEN CONFIRMED FOR VICTORIAS SECRET AND SHOOTING A BIG CAMPAIGN IN NYC!!!
ReplyDelete- Daniel looks great!!! A bit too tall for my tastes though xD
liu wen for VS, that would be interesting. hana is always goregous but i no longer drool over daniel. he is tall but i dont like the styling they did for his body type. i also dont think his facial features are drool worthy..
ReplyDeletespeaking of liu wen, I'm so happy I came across your blog. It is just terrific. I wanted to share a fashion collage I thought you might enjoy that I made when I was searching for Asian models amongst a sea of Caucasian images in teen magazines. It stars yours truly in a sea of excess and stereotypes: http://sweetmilke.blogspot.com/2009/05/liuny-bling.html Counterpart, images, goes the afro-hispanic route: http://sweetmilke.blogspot.com/2009/06/images.html
