Model Lianah Chang is the first Indian model to be featured in the United Kingdom Fashion Magazine, Femme Rebelle. Which advertises sexy fashion. But amazingly, the magazine featured herbecause of her ability to represent sexy Indian fashion with traditional, classy, and filmy Indian ethnicware.

Model Lianah Chang goes by the tag of LianahModeling. She is a model of Indian ethnicity who takes on modeling work in the Indian community in the United States. She is often criticized for mainly posting Indian fashion content, despite modeling for many brands- including fashion brands in her home country, American. Unlike many agency models, who predominately market their modeling photography, Lianah is a creator and influencer who is more interested in making an impact in niche- communities that mean something to her. She has publicly claimed on television that she never had any social media in her life, despite losing contracts and deals because of it. She has stated that her original intent for social media was not to become a fashion and brand ambassador, but to become a cultural representative and hopefully influence more women of Indian heritage in the Americas to openly embrace their cultural attire, even though it is not glamorized in the western market. Lianah represents a large percentage of Indian models who go unrepresented in media and uncredited for their work. She has appeared in several different advertisements and modeling campaigns including television, international and local magazines, numerous billboards, runways, and catalogs. Ironically, through her creative Indian modeling photography she has become an International Model for brands and ads in India, Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East, and America due to her cultural style and ethnically-ambiguous look. Several countries use her as a representative of their culture. Paradoxically, due to her popularity, classy photography, and her ability to persuade her audience in their native tongue, Lianah has become one of the highest paid Influencers in the International Fashion Market. She has modeled for ads speaking and representing over 20 different languages. A face of all countries, she is one Indian model that has a look that everyone seems to identify with. She has been named as the top South-Asian Fashion Influencer in America.
