Actress Bae Doona has become the first Korean worldwide model for a global luxury brand. Bae was chosen as a model for Louis Vuitton's 2016 spring/summer collection.

The Korean market is now a test bed for the latest products of luxury labels, and Bae's new job is evidence of that.

Louis Vuitton on Monday unveiled its 2016 spring/summer collection. The photos were shot by world-renowned photographers Juergen Teller and Bruce Weber in Miami, Florida.

Louis Vuitton creative director Nicolas Ghesqui�re said he first saw Bae in the Korean blockbuster "The Host" and concluded that she is a good fit for the brand.

Bae and Ghesqui�re have been friends for several years.
