It is a great honour to be associated with women as lovely and talented as Jane Fonda, Penélope Cruz and Linda Evangelista”, affirms Zilin Zhang.
Just incase you didn’t know…
Zilin Zhang is the reigning Miss World. Zilin was crowned Miss World on December 1st 2007 amid scenes of wild jubilation throughout China. She is China’s first Miss World. She is much loved by her country and has been chosen as the first woman to carry the Olympic torch when it arrived in China on the 4th May 2008.
Zilin Zhang’s career in modeling started in 2003 when she was discovered by one of China’s biggest modeling agencies. At nearly six-feet tall she is instantly recognizable on the catwalk.

The Lights Are A Little Dimmer Now.
June 1st, 2008 sadly markes the passing of one of fashion’s great luminaries: Yves Saint Laurent at age 71. Yves Saint Laurent was a leading inspiration, who beautifully democratised fashion for us all…absolutely!
Beauty Marked! couldn’t agree more with French President Sarkozy, who said, “The designer had been the first to elevate haute couture to the rank of art and that gave him global influence. Yves Saint Laurent infused his label with his creative genius, elegant and refined personality… because he was convinced that beauty was a necessary luxury for all men and all women.”
What a gloriously enduring impression he has left. Thank You ever so much Yves Saint Laurent. Rest In Peace.
It’s All Good.
