Ridzman Zidaine made waves last week for being the first local male model to open the Louis Vuitton show at Paris Fashion Week, but he is not the only Malaysian model who has made it big internationally.

Among the earliest Malaysians to have captured global attention is Ling Tan. She first appeared on the runway in New York back in 1994, walking for Malaysian designer Datuk Zang Toi.
