Whoooo

Wowowow, what a cover! Like the female version of James Bond. B) All she needs is a half naked male model sidekick.

Tao Okamoto has always been something special but she moves into the stratosphere with the November edition of Vogue Nippon. With the special all-Tao issue she joins the selective ranks of models major enough to single-handedly command an entire Vogue. Add to this the fact that this is the first time the publication has ever featured an Asian model in this way (Tao is the first Japanese face to grace the cover of Vogue Nippon in nearly a decade) and you have the makings of a moment that transcends fashion. This is a must have issue - inside you’ll find Tao as imagined by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, Glen Luchford, Daniel Jackson, Mark Segal and Solve Sundsbo, each photographer portrays her in a different light and each picture shows just what a versatile and dynamic model she truly is.

Are you kidding me!!!!!!!! I am not for uber PC-ism, but that is downright shameful!

OMG The preview looks absolutely mind-blowing!!! Every single picture posted is truly stunning! Can't wait to see the whole issue. Apparently it's gonna be huge! Even better, this means more Tao

I agree. Correct me if I'm wrong but the last Japanese faces on Vogue Nippon were Devon Aoki and Ai Tominaga in the early 00s. This is a major coup for Tao and a big deal for Asian faces in high fashion as far as I'm concerned.
