Models of Diversity
Tatler Malaysia|August 2022
What can fashion do more to be more inclusive? We asked this question of models from East, Southeast and South Asia: models who unashamedly show off their unique beauty, not limited by gender, race, sexuality, size, age, religion or ability

CHRISTINA CHUNG

Hong Kong

"In my [youth, models had to be young to be beautiful and sexy. However, I see the gradual transition from the old concepts to a more open-minded outlook nowadays-people's perception of age has changed dramatically

Christina Chung signed up for catwalk training and was ready to become a model in her twenties, before deciding that working in banking would offer a more sustainable career. She only started to pick up freelance modelling jobs a few years ago in her fifties but is now making waves in the local fashion scene as a silver model whose elegance defies time. Chung's journey has come full circle: just as she has started a second career and is loving the self-expression and artistic side of the job, her daughters are also now working as models in the city.
