One of China’s first-generation supermodels, Lu Yan, has added founder of contemporary fashion label COMME MOI to her growing list of achievements. The brand strikes a balance between elegance and comfort, offering high-quality pieces that easily layer into women’s current wardrobes.

Switching between roles including supermodel, businesswoman, doting mother, and most recently fashion designer, Lu manages to keep a glowing appearance while maintaining a busy schedule.

Lu shares some of her secrets for looking - and feeling - her best with Lane Crawford.

Frequent Flyer

In her multi faceted career, Lu Yan is a frequent flyer, with long haul trips and same-day return flights a common occurrence. To combat constant travel, and dry air synonymous with airplane cabins, shut-eye and hydration is vital. “Enough high-quality sleep is key to keeping my mood up when travelling. For nourishing skin suffering from recycled, pressurized air, facemasks have become my travel essential.”

Fuel and Fitness

With narrow shoulders, a small waist and slender legs, Lu Yan’s enviable body has retained it’s shape since she started modeling 17 years ago. “I don’t have a special workout plan but I do enjoy walking,” explains Lu. “Whether it be travelling or visiting museums – I like to see the world by foot.” Her diet tips? “Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol. I also eat plenty of fruit.”

Stress Relief

With the rapid growth of her fashion label COMME MOI, Lu Yan often feels the pressure building. “Dancing and taking baths are both ways I relieve the pressure and refocus,” Lu says. “Past experiences make you who you are, and my experiences have made me pay attention to the smaller things in life. I find joy in regular manicures, and I love candles.”

Lu says she will never limit herself to a specific role in life. “I enjoy the balance I have between my family life and my career. I don't want to be hasty in defining my future – anything is possible.”
