Unlike most models in China, Mizz Zee was originally an alternative model, who modelled for alternative rock and dark arts such as gothic and metaphysical. “In my youth, I watched a lot of animation shows, and the themes and ideas within them dug deep into me,” Mizz Zee revealed to British magazine Ni Hao.

“I was born and raised in a military university for 17 years, so I was exposed to the military way of life in my most influential years, particularly the clothing, combined with the exposure of images in my youth. I began to mix a lot of these things together, so that in my mind I could create unusual styles.”
In Mizz Zee’s Chinese profile, a line at the bottom says “Do not copy me. Anyone who copies me dies”. “I am a hopeless perfectionist, which means I care very much for each shooting I am involved in, and I require every single piece is perfect to details: wardrobe, hair, makeup, etc. If you fail to find a stylist that meets the standards of high originality, you could leave the job to me,” Mizz Zee’s profile states.

For modelling conditions, Mizz Zee makes it clear that she is against modelling  nude, semi-nude, implied nude and anything that is not creative or original. “Style and trends have always seemed a bit a taboo to me, I prefer to remain alienated from conformity within styles. I believe this frame of mind is suitable for the designer who wishes to make a difference and stand out, rather than to imitate. If I am to follow a style, it is for study and eventually I will use the idea to create my own styles.”
“As for inspirational people, Eden Muse and Perish are the finest alternative models in my opinion, their creative output really spoke to me and I was shocked and amazed by their ideas. I subsequently felt my inspirations grow too,” Mizz Zee explained her past experience.
