No doubt one of the most successful names on the list, she’s been slaying the runway in the past few seasons and walking for designers like Rick Owens, Marine Serre and most recently, Peter Do (check out the video she filmed for us backstage!).

Sheena Liam (@sheenaliam)
Winning Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 2 in 2014 catapulted her name into the limelight, and five years later, Sheena’s career has only been going onward and upward.

Aside from that, she has also made a name for herself as an embroidery artist.
