Ling Tan, the first Supermodel from Southeast Asia, has changed the face of fashion with her exotic beauty. Although she is ethnically Chinese, Ling was born and raised in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. She was educated in a Chinese school and speaks four dialects of Chinese as well as Malay and English.

During her first week as a model, an American advertising executive looking for a new face for an ad campaign spotted Ling in a hotel fashion show. The award winning commercial for Tiger Beer propelled Ling to celebrity status in Malaysia. European and American designers showing their collections in Malaysia were also impressed with Ling’s runway prowess and encouraged her to move to New York City.
