In her own words

What do you appreciate most in a man?

Honesty and an open mind.

If you could talk to a former great in your industry, who would you choose and why?

Christy Turlington. She was a supermodel in the 1980s. I always thought she was very beautiful, and today, after she has had babies, she is still glamorous. I would like to ask her how she can maintain herself so well in both body and soul.

What would you do if you weren't a model?

To be honest, I have never thought about this before. I always think I am the right person to be a model. I never regret my career path. If you choose this path you have to give up all other roads, but I have never regretted it. So I have never, or will never, think about this question: What would I do if I weren't a model?

The gift you want most?

The ability to move from one place to another in one second! I am too busy, and always fly from here to there. I wish I could close and open my eyes, and then, I'm already at the destination!

But that's a superpower. Actually, I always wish I was more eloquent. I have difficulties in expressing my point of view.

If you could change one thing about your looks or character, what would it be?

Nothing. I can't change anything about myself and I don't want to.

Of what are you proudest?

I made my own choices. I have to say, I am very proud that I can be myself.

- Gan Tian
