Focus on Quenie Tao

There are people who walk into the studio and immediately transform the space. Quenie Tao is one of them.

Recognized as one of Vogue’s favorite faces, Quenie carries an energy that’s both commanding and effortless — the kind of presence that doesn’t demand attention but naturally holds it. When we worked together at The Factory Studio, I understood why she’s loved by so many in the industry. She’s not just beautiful; she’s intentional.

Mentor and Muse

For Models Bootcamp, we were honored to have Quenie as one of our mentors — guiding the next generation of models through the art of movement, confidence, and poise.

What struck me most during our shoot wasn’t just her professionalism, but how aware she is of her body — how she moves with purpose, how every pose feels like choreography. She doesn’t perform for the camera; she collaborates with it.

Watching her shoot was like watching a dialogue between artist and lens — a rhythm built on trust and instinct.

And then seeing her bring that same energy to her mentorship with our bootcampers was incredible. She thought posing and she taught presence — the art of being seen without needing to prove yourself.

Paradigm Redox — The Walk That Closed the Circle

Quenie also walked the runway for Paradigm Redox, the graduation fashion show of Models Bootcamp, and her performance was everything we hoped the show would represent: bold, elegant, and grounded in authenticity.

Her walk wasn’t about spectacle; it was about storytelling. Every stride carried the experience of a professional who understands that fashion isn’t just fabric and form — it’s communication.

Seeing her share the stage with our bootcamp graduates was a proud moment for all of us. She represented the bridge between experience and aspiration — the mentor who leads not by instruction, but by example.

A Lasting Impression

Shooting with Quenie reminded me why The Factory exists — to create space for collaboration between established voices and rising talents.

She embodies what we value most: artistry rooted in humility, professionalism infused with grace, and a genuine love for the craft.

In every frame, Quenie doesn’t just pose — she teaches. And that’s what makes her unforgettable.
