Elvanna Raine

Elvanna (汪芷榆) was born and raised in London, UK. As a teenager she relocated to Taiwan with her family, and also studied in Singapore for a few years. She started her career in the entertainment industry when she was only 15, by winning the MTV Asia VJ Search in Taipei, and since then she has been hosting TV shows, modelling, acting, designing, and even writing.

Even with her hectic schedule, she still managed to find the time to focus on her studies, and graduated from King's College, London, UK, walking away with a degree in Psychology and Law. During the time she was studying, she also managed to put her studies to work, and was a legal representative and interpreter for the British Immigration & Home Office, also participating in various cross country debates and seminars for her Psychology degree. Amazingly, even after all that studying, she wanted more! She proceeded to further her studies in psychology, focusing on psychosis research,the impact of anti-psychotic medicines, and schizophrenia. After that, she took up fashion designing. And got her degree too. What a geek! ;)

Now, Elvanna has relocated to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and soon she will be dividing her time in Hong Kong as well. Since her arrival in KL, she has been the hot topic in town, her unique appearance and background, added to the contrast of her many artistic tattoos... It's bound to get attention!

And indeed she has :) Since her sudden arrival, she has been catching attention and curious glances, a girl like her is hard to miss! She is often invited to the most glamourous events, from fashion shows to product launches, performances and concerts, including the Miss World Malaysia 2008 Pageant, M-IFW, Stylo, etc. She has graced the runway, her face is seen regularly on the covers of magazines, she emcees various events and functions, and participates in charity events whenever she can. She was first featured in FHM September 2008, then after that, Men's Health November 2008, and since then, Nu You Magazine, Newtide, NewMan, Shape, CLIVE.... You name it! We will definitely see a lot more of Elvanna Raine, that's for sure!
