China-born, NYC-based, Yuqian Jade is a fashion model, car drifting lover, and a technology nerd graduated from Johns Hopkins University. She considers herself a huge tomboy and traditional social norms breaker. By saying that, she sketches a blur line in gender presentation and social images. With her diverse backgrounds, she performs a supporting role in the women and minority community. You'll find out how enlightening can she be, read on!
Hi Jade, besides modelling - do you have other passions?
I like cars and motorcycles. I feel those are links to the city. They give me the ability to travel everywhere.
The time you spend with motorcycles and cars, can you tell us more about this?
I had a time when I was in college, I was super obsessed with Japanese modified cars and my friends and I formed a group of it. I had a 350Z also called fair lady Z, a drifting car. I still remember the time driving the car while embracing the loud wind which is quite a moment and time.
What is the one project you had most fun working on?
There are a lot of projects I had fun working on. This shoot for L'Officiel was definitely one of my favourites because I love motorcycle racing and car drifting.
As a female, what do you feel about taking part in motorcycle racing and car drifting?
