For today's Major Moment Monday we are looking back to when Pulse Management discovery, Hye Park, absolutely amazed us in the above Dolce & Gabbana campaign. The campaign was shot by famed fashion photographer Steven Klein. Dolce & Gabbana is one of the most powerful fashion houses in existence, and the fact that Steven Klein shot the advertising campaign was just icing on the cake.
When we started Hye she was arguably the first major Asian supermodel, and after her major success there has been numerous successful Asian models since. In fact when Hye was hired to walk in the Prada fashion show in February 2005, many people credit that moment as the rise of the Asian model. It took a while for us to start getting Hye work, but once we did she emerged on the fashion scene like few others have. Her modeling career is the kind that dreams are made of, as chronicled in this profile in NY Magazine.
We are so proud to have been the people who introduced Hye Rim Park to the fashion world, and we are even more proud that we helped to change the idea of what a supermodel is supposed to look like.
