Numero China Magazine is making its debut with a double cover September issue featuring the stunning Liu Wen. Styled by Joseph Carle and shot by Tiziano Magni, Liu Wen is a guiding seductress in the hottest couture by Versace, Dior and Jean Paul Gaultier.

White on white with viciously black hair, Chinese superstar Liu Wen disappears into the background leaving a vaguely defined stunning impression of what her gown would look like in motion or set in a peaceful restraint. Even with the wind causing ruckus in her hair, Liu Wen manages to remain calm, mysterious and ghostly collected.
