Meet the New Girl: Wang Xiao Danced Like a Mad Woman for Her Calvin Klein Campaign

After chopping off more than half a foot of her long, black hair, Wang Xiao signed with the Wilhelmina modeling agency last year. Two days later, the Chinese model, now 21, attended a casting with Steven Meisel and landed a lucrative fragrance contract with Calvin Klein’s one scent, alongside marquee names like Lara Stone and Abbey Lee. We met with the bubbly, chatty Xiao last week to talk about meeting Meisel and her trademark bowl cut.
