Biography
About Hejia Li
Hejia Li was born in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, China, on 12 July 2005. Her father ran a local business and her mother was a teacher. In high school she was a tomboyish athlete, playing on the basketball team and skateboarding. Her athletic poise caught the eye of Esee Model Management scouts when she was 17, during a casual mall outing. A test shoot went viral on Weibo, and she signed her first contract, entering Beijing's modeling scene by 2022.
Li's runway debut at Bottega Veneta's Autumn/Winter 2023 show in Beijing led to a Spring/Summer 2024 season with 27 global shows, including Proenza Schouler, Khaite, Michael Kors, Fendi, Gucci, Versace, Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel. She is represented by agencies in New York, Los Angeles, Milan, London, China, and Paris. Campaigns include Louis Vuitton, Bottega Veneta, Jacquemus, Tom Ford, Versace, Chloé, Coperni, and Saint Laurent. Her print work spans covers for Vogue China, Pop Magazine, and Financial Times' How to Spend It, plus editorials in Self Service, Acne Papers, American Vogue, and others. She has worked with photographers like Craig McDean and Tim El-Kaim.
Her Instagram (@hejialiiiii) has about 6,000 followers and 38 posts, mostly runway fittings, skate sessions, and subtle brand nods. She has appeared in fashion documentaries and red-carpet clips, but no major TV or film roles yet. A 2025 IMDb listing credits her in Sacai's Spring 2026 show footage and Louis Vuitton holiday campaigns. At 5'9" with a slim build and natural curves, she is praised for an athletic presence that some call 'the anti-waif.' In 2024, her poses in American Vogue drew criticism on Weibo for being 'too Western,' fueling debates about cultural commodification. Her income is estimated between $800,000 and $1.5 million yearly, with a net worth around $3 million. She is on Models.com's Top 50 list as of 2025 and has been called a symbol of China's evolving global influence.
