Q&A with Ghost Chan

1) How did you get into the industry?

I worked with Nhu Xuan Hua, a renowned photographer, on a performance art project. She later invited me to collaborate on a shoot - a Maison Margiela campaign - which included hand modelling. I was told I have beautiful hands, and that inspired me to actively seek representation as a hand model.

2) Do you have a dream brand or client you’d love to work with? A dream collaboration?

Definitely Issey Miyake. I love their concept of incorporating origami into clothing—it takes me back to my childhood growing up in Hong Kong.

3) Have you ever been starstruck when meeting a director or celebrity on set?

It wasn’t on a shoot, but I once performed as a dancer for BTS. I was completely starstruck when I bumped into Jungkook in the toilet—he was brushing his teeth!

4) What is the strangest thing you’ve been asked to do on set?

I once wore a green full-body suit that completely covered my face. I couldn’t see anything but was asked to jump. It was strange, but honestly, a lot of fun!

5) Do you have any beauty routines or preparation rituals before a shoot?

I drink Chinese herbal tea the day before to reduce internal ‘heat’ and prevent inflammation in my skin.

7) Outside of modelling, what is your biggest passion?

I have many interests—dancing, creating art, cooking for friends, designing and playing board games. But my biggest passion is plant-keeping. I have over a hundred houseplants in my London flat!

8) If you could only take 3 things with you to a desert island, what would they be and why?

A device to play music I can dance to, Wingspan (a board game I love), and friends to play it with—though they’re not technically things, ha!

9) If you weren’t a model what would you be instead and what did you want to be when you grew up?

I would stay as an artist and a creative technologist as I am now. When I was growing up, I wanted to be a Choreographer and pianist - I am now one of these at least!

10) Any advice to new faces or anyone looking to get into the industry?

Know yourself and your talent. Learn different skills and find ones that you are passionate in. Find out both your weakness and strength. Build and show your confidence. People in the industry will then see it and bring you into the industry.
