As the lights dimmed, everyone's eyes turned to the stage.
Compared to the admiring gazes for other brands, many were watching Queen's show with a sense of anticipation for drama.
So when the lights came back on, many eyes held deep and meaningful irony.
And when Queen's opening model took the stage, the irony in everyone's eyes turned into shock.
"Is that... Xi Jian?"
"Queen's opening model is actually Xi Jian?"
Xi Jian, the first East Asian model to grace Paris Fashion Week, and the only Asian model to be listed in the Forbes supermodel ranking for years.
Dubbed by the New York Times as "Hua Country's first true supermodel," in her second year after debut, she walked in 78 shows during international fashion weeks, 154 shows for the year, plus 9 haute couture shows, setting a record for the most show appearances by an Asian model.
At her peak, her runway appearance fee reached as high as 1.8 million RMB, ranking third on the most authoritative global model list.
