Du Juan (born September 15, 1982, in Shanghai, China) is a Chinese fashion model and former ballerina.
A former Ford Supermodel of the World runner-up, Du made her runway debut in Spring 2006, walking for prominent designers such as Valentino (opening and closing his bridal show), Jean-Paul Gaultier, Roberto Cavalli and Chanel.
In 2005 she was placed on the cover of Vogue Paris with Australian model Gemma Ward leading to a flurry of advertising campaigns for Louis Vuitton, Roberto Cavalli, Gap, Swarovski, United Colors of Benetton, and Yves St. Laurent. With multiple bookings being a rare accomplishment, particularly for a new face, Style.com, the online home of Vogueand W magazine, declared her one of the top ten models to watch for the Fall 2006 season. She graced the cover of the premier issue of Vogue China and has since become a fixture in its pages, appearing in at least one editorial since its launch in 2005. She has also appeared on the cover of the 2006 TIME with fellow model Coco Rocha, and is one of the models featured in the 2008 Pirelli Calendar, which was shot in her native Shanghai.
She is currently ranked number 45 on model ranking site MODELS.com, having peaked at number 14. In recent seasons Du has been featured in advertisement campaigns for Giorgio Armani, Anna Sui, GAP, David Yurman, H&M and Yue Sai, a Chinese expansion of L’oreal.
Du has appeared in editorials for Allure, Harper’s Bazar, Elle, V magazine, i-D and the American, Chinese, French, Italian, Korean and British editions of Vogue.
Being largely absent from Europe in recent seasons, Du spends her time between New York and China.
