Zhao Qinghe of Beijing waits backstage to rehearse before the Tim Coppens runway show Sunday, Sept. 7, 2014, during Fashion Week in New York. Zhao, 21, has only been modeling for a year since being discovered by an agency while attending college in his native China. Since then, he has traveled across the world, walking runways in Paris and Milan, in addition to New York. “I like New York,” Zhao says. “It’s a fashion city, I just enjoy.” The hardest part for Zhao can be managing his schedule between castings, fittings and shows. “It’s so busy,” he says. Currently dating a fashion design student, Zhao has ideas about one day creating looks of his own. Not ready to transition just yet, Zhao sees himself modeling for another three or four years. He says being photographed and walking in shows are his favorite parts of the job, explaining that, “You can show off to many people.” (AP Photo/Jason DeCrow)
