Soo Joo
You might recognise Soo Joo Park from the countless magazine covers she has graced over the years—global editions of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Allure, W, or maybe from the runways of just about every big fashion house around. Perhaps she looks familiar from her days as an exclusive face of Chanel, or because she was the first Asian model to be a global ambassador for L’Oreal. Wherever it’s from, it’s safe to say that you know Park’s face, because she is a supermodel. But she is not just a supermodel.
Whether it’s acting on the Emmy-nominated series Sense8 from the Wachowskis (The Matrix) or the upcoming thriller The Trainer directed by Tony Kaye (American History X), working with world-renowned artists Philippe Parreno and Pierre Huyghe on a conceptual digital art project, or simply pursuing various projects in art and design borne from her days as an architecture student at UC Berkeley, there’s very little that Park hasn’t tried. Despite her endeavours and forays in all creative fields, the one she has constantly found refuge in and returned to is her first love—music.
