Ming Xi and The VS Fashion Show in Shanghai<\/h2>\n

Like any other VS Fashion Show, the recent one held in China last November was much awaited.\u00a0 Everybody was looking forward to models strutting down the runway.\u00a0 We know that the VS Angels were also excited but behind the excitement is a great fear of tripping while walking.\u00a0 Although any misstep won\u2019t result in broken bones, falling during a globally televised event would mean quite a lot of embarrassment for quite a while.<\/p>\n

\"Ming<\/a><\/p>\n

Supermodel Ming Xi wasn\u2019t an exception.\u00a0 In her Goddess-segment look, she unfortunately tripped over her skirt and fell to her knees.\u00a0 Yet, she gracefully completed her walk with some help from fellow model Gizele Oliveira<\/a>.\u00a0 The entire crowd was also cheering her on as she got back to her feet.\u00a0 She proved herself a real professional when she finished the walk with all smiles.<\/p>\n

\"Ming<\/a><\/p>\n

She did cry after her walk.\u00a0 As seen in the aired show on CBS, Ming Xi was comforted by her fellow Angels and Angels-in-training.\u00a0 The footage also showed Ming\u2019s emotional reaction once she was clear from the crowd\u2019s view.<\/p>\n

\"Ming<\/a><\/p>\n

The model also took to Instagram her feelings about what happened.\u00a0 In her post, she wrote: \u201cAs many of you may already know, I fell during my 5th year walking at the Victoria’s Secret show yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n

“It was no doubt one of the hardest moments I have ever had to go through in my career, especially since the show was taking place in my hometown, in front of my mother’s and my people’s eyes.\u00a0 However, the support I received from everyone yesterday was incredible and I am truly grateful to everyone who was there for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

How She Started Modelling<\/h2>\n

The 28-year old Chinese model started her modelling career after an exquisite performance at the Elite Model Look competition in 2009 where she came in third place.\u00a0 After the TV modelling contest, she became one of the most in-demand Asian models.\u00a0 In 2011, her international modelling career sky rocketed after her runway debut for Givenchy Haute Spring Show.\u00a0 In the same year, she became the face of the brand\u2019s Fall\/Winter ad campaign and also modeled their ready-to-wear collection.<\/p>\n

\"Ming<\/a><\/p>\n

The Shanghainese-born model graduated from Shanghai Donghua University in 2007 with a major in Fashion Design and Acting.\u00a0 Her first TV appearance was in a competition called \u201cGo! Oriental Angels!\u201d<\/p>\n

Her Impressive Resume<\/h2>\n

One of the most impressive things in Ming\u2019s resume is becoming the face of Givenchy and being personally requested by the brand\u2019s creative director Richard Tisci to walk on the runway.\u00a0 The same marked the beginning of her career.\u00a0 She was then named as one of the Top 50 supermodels of the world at the age of 24.<\/p>\n

Included in her extensive experience is the lingerie super-brand Victoria\u2019s Secret.\u00a0 She made her debut in the VS runway in 2013 and has been included in the list since then.\u00a0 Ming was also selected by Karl Lagerfeld to star in his campaign for his own label.\u00a0 She came alongside Kendall Jenner<\/a> and Sasha Luss<\/a>.<\/p>\n
