Wang Xiao is a high-profile Chinese international fashion model, widely known for her meteoric rise in the early 2010s and her iconic "bowl cut" hairstyle. Born in Beijing, she made the bold decision to cut her long black hair early in her career, a visual change that became her trademark and opened doors to the global market. In 2010, she moved to the United States after signing with Wilhelmina Models agency in New York, instantly solidifying her status as one of the most prominent Asian faces in the fashion industry.
Her career skyrocketed after being selected by legendary photographer Steven Meisel, which secured her a high-profile global contract for Calvin Klein's CK One fragrance campaign, alongside international supermodels. Wang Xiao became the face of Emporio Armani in 2012 and walked for major brands at New York and Paris Fashion Weeks, such as Mugler and Thakoon. Beyond the catwalk, she has amassed a vast editorial presence in prestigious publications such as Vogue China, Vogue Korea, and i-D, remaining active as an influential figure in the Asian and international fashion scene.
