Ayumi Hamasaki, “The Empress of Pop”, can do no wrong for her Japanese and Hong Kong fans. This Japanese singer, songwriter and former actress has taken Japan and the rest of Asia by storm since she first released her single “Poker Face” back in 1998. However, she’s not only a force to be reckoned with on the microphone, she’s also a formidable fashion icon as well.

We can always expect to see Ayumi at the top of the latest trends and she certainly didn’t disappoint on the cover of her new album, “Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus”. Here, she sports a floral Moschino leather jacket – a perfect mix of tough and girly with its cute little cut-out flowerettes. Watch out for Ayumi’s latest album out April 14.

Chinese superstar Du Juan shot to fame after winning the Ford modeling contest in 2002 held in Beijing. Since then, she has become one of the most popular Chinese faces to grace runways at international fashion shows from Paris to Milan and New York. She has also appeared in numerous ad campaigns for Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Armani,Jean Paul Gaultier and Valentino to name but a few as well as appearing on countless photo shoots for Vogue.

Du Juan actually started out as a classical ballerina for nine years, training at the prestigious Shanghai Academy of Dance. However, she eventually grew too tall to find a dance partner and switched to modelling where her gracefulness on the catwalk is evident for all to see. We caught up with this dancing queen at the opening of Y-3 at K11 mall to find out what makes her tick.

Butterboom: Who would you say is your inspiration?

Du Juan: It would definitely have to be my parents. They supported me throughout my 9 years in ballet dance, since I was eight. They were still supportive when I switched to modelling, knowing that I would always be away from home for work.

Butterboom: What was the first show you ever did and how old were you at the time?

Du Juan: It was in the year 1999 when I was 17.  Someone came to my dancing school and looked for tall girls to walk on a fashion show. Back then, I didn’t know anything about fashion shows so when the music came on my mind just went blank and I just began walking. Thanks to my ballet training, I was already comfortable using my body to express myself.

Butterboom: If you weren’t a model what would you be?

Du Juan: I would definitely be a ballet teacher, no doubt.

Butterboom: Who’s your favorite designer this season?

Du Juan: For Spring/Summer 2010, I’m especially impressed with Roland Mouret, he makes absolutely gorgeous dresses.
