Simple and natural Qiqi

Born in Shanghai and raised in Sophia Kao, a supermodel has been working for more than ten years and is still persistent. She describes herself as a very dedicated person, whether for career, friendship or love. I just never pursue anything deliberately, and I like everything naturally.

Sophia Kao kept apologizing to the reporter on the other end of the phone, saying that he was too busy, and that sincerity is beyond your doubt. I've always heard people say that Sophia Kao's personality is frank, and he has remained so popular for so many years. Now it's "what you hear is what you believe".

Growing up in a relaxed environment

Sophia Kao went to Austria at the age of 13, and both Chinese and Western cultures left a deep imprint on her. She has both the traditional and subtle side of China people and the open－minded side. As the only daughter of her parents, she has been living in a free and relaxed environment. "My parents never give me much pressure, and they don't want to be successful like other parents, which makes me develop the habit of doing things consciously."

In the summer when she was p>17 years old, Sophia Kao, a freshman, and her mother were wandering in the streets of Austria and met Lilo Hoffma, a famous supermodel in Europe at that time. At that time, she started a modeling company herself. She thought that Sophia Kao looked oriental, but she had the height of a European, and wanted her to join us. With the idea of working as a summer job, Sophia Kao entered this industry by accident.

Sophia Kao still clearly remembers that her first job was to take an advertising photo for a credit card company. Sophia Kao, who had straight shawl and never wore makeup, was cut off as soon as she came up, and she wore a heavy makeup, which gave her the first knowledge of modeling.

Some people think that models are born, so even and tall people tend to pop out. Sophia Kao, who is 18cm tall, disagrees with this statement. "Many people only see the beautiful scenery of models, but they don't know the hardships behind them." Sophia Kao has worked with many world supermodels and famous photographers for many years, and deeply understands the pressure and hard work behind an excellent model. She doesn't think she is born beautiful, so she is very devoted to every job. "I think when you work hard, you can always make up for some of your shortcomings."

Sophia Kao thinks it is very important to find a job that he likes and get people's recognition in this field. "I like this job very much, because I have made many friends and met my husband. This job is really good."

Sophia Kao likes girls with honey-colored skin. "Foreigners have blond hair and blue eyes, and their skin is tanned, which is quite healthy. However, China people should have the traditional beauty of China people, which is elegant, tasteful and low-key. This is my type. "Many people like Julia Roberts, a big mouth star in Hollywood, but Sophia Kao's favorite star is Michelle Pfeiffer." She is really attractive, full of connotation and wisdom. "

Sophia Kao has worked with many world-class supermodels, but Cindy Crowford is her favorite. In November last year, she and Cindy Crowford filmed an advertisement for Omega in Paris, and had previously filmed an advertisement for an American department store with her. Talking about Cindy, Sophia Kao was full of praise: "She was born with a beautiful face and figure, and her work attitude was absolutely first-class, and she was never proud. When you meet her, chat with her and work with her, you will know what a world supermodel is. She is really a very intelligent beauty. " Sophia Kao thinks Cindy is a very comprehensive supermodel and artist, who knows her strengths, responds very quickly, and speaks and behaves very well.

Many people think that modeling is a youthful career, and there are indeed many models that are short-lived and disappear after two or three years. But Cindy Crowford can continue to succeed. Sophia Kao thinks that it is not only because she looks beautiful, but also because she has a smart mind and first-class professionalism. "You will feel very comfortable working with her, because she has no such pride as a big-name star. When she co-produced the advertisement last year, she just gave birth to a child for 4 months, but she has recovered very well. I think she is a supermodel in many people's minds. "

Sophia Kao has been in the business for many years and is still a popular model. She said, "I don't think time is a problem, as long as you like it and the market agrees with you. Cindy Crowford has been in the business for 16 years, and she is still the best model in the world. I think it's better to let nature take its course. " In fact, over the years, although Sophia Kao mainly worked as a model, she also tried to do other jobs, such as being a columnist, doing cover stories for fashion magazines and being a TV host. She said with considerable confidence: "For me, there are too many doors open for me in this world. Because what I have is not only appearance, but more importantly, I have connotation. "

Being too thin is not beautiful

Having worked in the fashion circle for so many years, Sophia Kao has his own unique views on beauty. She thinks beauty is health and nature. She has never thought that people who are too thin are beautiful, so from now on, she has never exercised every day because she wants to keep fit, and she has never avoided eating, because she thinks a balanced eating habit is very important. "I am normal for three meals a day, and I am not picky about food. I eat everything except fat, such as steak, pork and soup. Maybe a good mood and healthy living habits are the reasons why I can keep－fit. I think it's boring to exercise every day and eat only fruits and vegetables in order to keep fit. Because it is done deliberately, life is meaningless. "

Sophia Kao thinks that sleep is God's best gift to mankind. No matter how tired, tired and unhappy you are, you will recover after sleeping. Therefore, Sophia Kao attaches great importance to sleep, goes to bed early and gets up early every day, and his life is quite regular. "I like the natural life, see good things, eat delicious food, be happy and healthy every day, have a group of good friends and a person who loves me, so life is very good."

When it comes to dressing, Sophia Kao likes some simple and low-key clothes. She thinks it is very important for girls to give people a healthy, natural and clean feeling as a whole. Of course, after all, living in the forefront of the trend, Sophia Kao sometimes changes his taste and tries different styles of different designers. However, Sophia Kao doesn't chase famous brands. She prefers natural and simple dressing. There are more than 1 pairs of jeans (expensive and cheap, antique and modern) at home, as well as many white shirts and T-shirts. Because I like Chinese embroidery very much, there are many embroidered clothes in Sophia Kao.

Some people say that beauty comes from the heart, and Sophia Kao absolutely agrees with this view. She usually doesn't wear makeup except for work. "So if you see me on the street in Hong Kong, you will find that I am really ordinary, and I only wear lip balm every day."

Let nature take its course and be a mother

The eight-year love run between Sophia Kao and Yam Tat-wah is well known, but now when Sophia Kao talks about Mr. Yam Tat-wah, there is still a heartfelt sweetness: "Yam Tat-wah and I understand and respect each other. We are both busy, but we are happy when we are together. I feel that I am a very happy girl, because I found someone I like, and I can understand each other's joys and sorrows because of the similar nature of my work. "

After getting married, Sophia Kao felt that they were close. She thinks that Yam Tat-wah is even better than the excellent man she originally imagined: "He is sincere to friends, to me or to people around me, and his professional work attitude makes me feel worthwhile to be with him. He is very serious about his work."

Sophia Kao's work is always full, but no matter how busy she is, she will spare time to spend a holiday with Yam Tat-wah every year. She says this is very important. Perhaps this is the way for a couple like them to get along with each other.

Sophia Kao has a perfect career, a perfect personality and a perfect family. She has a slender figure, which is not fat in any way, a baby-like skin, and a delicate face with both oriental and western charm. She has a kind and pleasant personality, childlike temperament, a little woman's shyness and timidity, but at the same time, there is no lack of perseverance, courage and determination, and a calm and intelligent mind. All these not only made her easily become an international supermodel, the spokesperson of several world-famous brands of watches, cosmetics and shampoo, a famous image designer and an amateur actress (she once played opposite Leslie Cheung in the film Meteor Shower), but also won a wide range of people and the appreciation and love of many talented friends. Is an enviable successful person. Her husband, Yam Tat-wah, a famous Hong Kong movie star, loves her even more.

Sophia Kao's Choice has been published by Shanghai Far East Publishing House. It is a complete manual about her perfect life written by Sophia Kao herself, with a relaxed, lively and friendly style. The photos of Sophia Kao's show and life and many first-hand materials make people feel real and credible. With feminine brushstrokes, she recorded her strength and struggle at work, profound understanding in life and sincere love for family and friends during the 12 years since she was engaged in the modeling industry, and also revealed some secrets of classic maintenance of supermodels. It shows us the modeling industry-all kinds of glamour in front of the stage and hard work behind the scenes that are envied by millions of girls, and outlines Sophia Kao's naughty, lovely, approachable and more humanized image as an international supermodel.

Sophia Kao, a supermodel: Life needs full devotion

Showing the pose of a supermodel

As a big sister in the Chinese modeling circle, Sophia Kao has an excellent popularity in addition to her appearance and language advantages. Two years ago, the book "Sophia Kao's Choice" attracted nearly 7 colleagues, including models, photographers and makeup artists who wrote messages and prefaces. Today, as soon as I arrived at the studio, I warmly joked with my old friends in Cantonese and called my friends to greet them. She said, "How can a model make people want to

cooperate with you again? It is necessary to have her own style, and it is useless to brag. Model EQ is very important. Every time I work, my mood is like playing. Even if I sleep very little, I am very happy when I see a friend I haven't seen for a long time. I enjoy this job very much. " John, the hair stylist, nodded sharply. "There is no pressure to work with Sophia Kao. Although some people look polite, there will be another sentence in the words."

Sophia Kao analyzed that his straightforward boy personality may come from western education. "No matter who the other person is, as long as it is bad, I will talk about it. After all, I know best what suits me, but the way of talking is very important. Modesty is the minimum education of China people. So far, I haven't offended anyone. As long as my tone is modest and sincere, I often ask my assistant,' Do you want me to stop talking and fire you, or do you want me to stop talking and fire you?'

Casual but persistent

Compared with the current craze for supermodels who rely on gossip, show off their sexiness and are not good at cross-banking, with Sophia Kao's popularity, she has been "unexpectedly" sticking to her fashion post, and her only cross-border performance is the only work, which is different from the Hong Kong film "Meteor Talk" that she participated in many years ago. I can easily list a long list of opportunities to "grab money" for Sophia Kao, but she said, "I won't force myself to do something, I must like it very much before I do it."

"Have you ever worried about being eliminated?" I asked.

"I'm not afraid of being eliminated, but is it really realistic to be fashionable? Which industry is unrealistic? Doing business is more realistic. There are different stages in life. I know not to just do the same thing, whether it's designing shoes or jewelry. I also write columns for magazines to make myself more diversified. "

"Everything in life is a kind of fate, and opportunity is also very important." I got married with my husband, Hong Kong Star Yam Tat-wah, after 8 years of long-distance love running, and only gave birth to my first baby daughter at the beginning of this year. "I really didn't plan to have children before, but it was time for fate. Maybe I saw other people's children were cute at that time, so everything happened naturally." Now Sophia Kao is full of mother's classics, and her bag carries a stack of photos taken by her husband for her daughter. She said, "The most important thing in life is family and children, and family always comes first. My greatest wish is to hope that children will be healthy and happy. Although I grew up in Austria, I am still a very traditional China person, and I am a very filial daughter. Therefore, it is very important to be a daughter, wife and mother before thinking about me.

"Women must have their own careers. Having a family can enlarge their careers, and children will bring them more inspiration and more doors will open for me." An international supermodel who has been in the business for more than 1 years is familiar with the step-by-step aesthetic feeling. It took seven or eight months to launch the high-heeled shoes series, which was the painstaking efforts of going to meetings, drawing pictures, reading the first edition and so on with a big belly. The inspiration came from her daughter's sunny smile and colorful pink and pink yellow designs.

Sophia Kao sees Sophia Kao

Sophia Kao is her husband's favorite subject and the best spokesperson for many brands, but I wonder what kind of image she would have if she were asked to design her own portrait. "I really hope that the photo is taken by Peter Lindberg. He is a photographer I admire very much and I haven't had a chance to cooperate until now. It is definitely a black-and-white photo. On the night street in Soho, new york, I painted smoky makeup, wore men's clothes, smoked a cigarette (because I don't usually smoke) and drove an antique car. My expression was cool and innocent. This is the most authentic picture. "

She always thinks that women should take care of everything, but the name of "strong woman" is never a dream. As a mother who gains 1 kilograms more for her daughter, a woman who likes to eat desserts and has many cute things in her cosmetic bag, or a supermodel who is as handsome as a man, Sophia Kao really created a new look for another woman.

Having a family can enlarge a woman's career, and children will bring more inspiration to herself.
