Hye Rim Park (born January 17, 1985, in Seoul), also known as Hye Park, is a Korean-American model currently signed with Trump Model Management (New York), Take 2 Models (London), Why Not Models (Milan) and CITY Models (Paris). Hye made her runway debut during the Fall/Winter 2005 season.

Hye has appeared on the catwalk for designers such as Prada, Christian Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, and Burberry.

Hye has also collaborated with famous photographers like Steven Meisel, Mario Testino, Steven Klein, Annie Leibovitz, Patrick Demarchelier, Arthur Elgort, Craig McDean, David Sims, Mario Sorrenti, Ellen von Unwerth, Mikael Jannsen, Greg Kadel, Laurie Bartley, Nathaniel Goldberg, Terry Tsiolis, and many more.

She has been in editorials for many magazines, including Vogue (American, French, Italian, Chinese and Korean editions)[1], Flair, Numero, Allure, New York Times, Pop, Harper's Baazar, and others. She posed for international campaigns for Roberto Cavalli, Dolce & Gabbana, H&M, M.A.C. Cosmetics, GAP, Le Printemps, Marc Jacobs, Cesare Paciotti, MaxMara, Saks Fifth Ave, and Love, Sex, Money.

Hye was born in Seoul, South Korea, but immigrated to Salt Lake City, Utah when she was a young teen. She was discovered at an open casting call while attending the University of Utah in 2004[2] As one of the few Asian models on the international high fashion scene, Park's debut in Fall 2005 was strong - Vogue magazine named her one of the top 10 models[3]. According to Xinhua News, Park's rise on the fashion scene - along with other East Asian supermodels Du Juan and Anne Watanabe - coincides with the renewed Western interest in Asia[4].

In June 2008, she married her boyfriend of three years.

Du Juan (born September 15, 1982, in Shanghai, China) is a Chinese fashion model. A former Miss China 2003, Du made her runway debut in Spring 2006, walking for prominent designers such as Valentino and Jean-Paul Gaultier. For the Fall 2006 season, Style.com, the online home of Vogue and W magazine, declared her one of the top ten models to watch.[2] That same season she appeared in ad campaigns for Louis Vuitton, Gap, Roberto Cavalli, and Yves St. Laurent. Du shared the cover of Paris Vogue with top model Gemma Ward in 2005 and graced the cover of the premier issue of Vogue China.[3] She has also appeared on the cover of the 2006 TIME Style&Design with fellow model Coco Rocha, and is one of the models featured in the 2008 Pirelli Calendar, which was shot in her native Shanghai.

Du trained at the prestigious Shanghai Academy of Dance but eventually grew too tall to find a partner.
