She looks phenomenal!
Lets hope this makes big names take notice of her!

This is amazing!!^ Im sure it will, a Vogue Italy cover always does that and her opening Anna Sui plus this cover makes her his new favorite. Steven Meisel has a lot of power in pushing a model career, he is a taste maker and then everybody follows like sheeps, so Im sure others will start using her more. Lets not forgent that she opened a Saint Laurent show so Hedi likes her and JeanPaul Gaultier likes her as well....she has it for a very good start. I like her look she is not like a clone, she has a very distictive look. I also love that she is from Mexico.

The fringe bang is gonna be the next big thing and it's HER thing too. I love her on the cover.

 

[fashionlover2001]

Good for her. I love her cool edgy style.
And it's nice to see a Mestiza, Latina from Mexico being represented.

Her career will explode after that Vogue Italia cover.

She's part Japanese, doesn't look Latina/Mexican at all.

 

[fashionlover2001]

^Latin Americans don't have one particular look. They come in all color and races.

What you meant to say is that she is not Mestiza (European + Amerindian )?
But Bi-racial/Mixed (European + Asian(Japanese)

Which is fine. I can see that.

Lish gave me a Bruna Tenório vibe, but I guess unlike Bruna she's half asian.

 

[Thanatos]

^Well that's very interesting but no I meant exactly as I said, she appears east asian, and not Mexican (amerindian/spanish).

Umm there isn't one particular look to Mexicans. Do you care to elaborate what Mexicans look like then? The poster above made a great point. I'm Mexican, so I know firsthand what people of my culture look like.

As I specified she does not appear racially Amerindian/Spanish, as the majority of Mexicans happen to be. Her east-asian side clearly dominates, and she will read as such (asian) to the 99% who will see this cover and not know any better.

 

[kokobombon]

she looks asian cause her father is japanese and the slanted eyes gene is dominant (biology 101), it's not crazy that people will assume she's asian . She doesnt look like the stereotypical latina but neither does Aline Weber for example. There's this -wrong- idea that all latin americans are tanned with dark hair and brown eyes but imo it's better to "educate" than to react to seemingly harmless comments, don't you think?

 

[orthelian]

I think you can see her latin american heritage to, but especially on the vogue cover, her japanese heritage is quite dominant.
Either way, does it really matter? I thought the ultimate goal of diversity was to not care about where you are from, especially not quibble over terminology, because it shouldn't matter!
I look at her and see a beautiful, talented model, and couldn't care less where she comes from! What matters is her work. I hope for much success in her future!

 

[Moofins]

The cover is sort of grim, but that's what I love about it. I foresee brilliant things in her future.

Whoa that really is cinematic! She is expressive to say the least!

 

[TheVeed]

What a unique look. She doesn't quite look Japanese, she doesn't quite look Mexican, but she definitely looks unique.

Issa joined Why Not (Milan)

 

[arlekindearrabal]

Why are all the 'ethnic' girls joining Why Not in Milan now?
