Picked up two latest issues of a Finnish fashion and trend magazine
Trendi from the second-hand bookstore. Both featured little snippets about Tao. Maybe a bit 'old news' for the people at this board but I thought it might be somewhat exotic to post them here anyway. Trendi is a magazine somewhere between Teen Vogue and Glamour.
From 1/2010 issue:

Be inspired by the style
Little Tao Tao
Japanese Tao Okamoto is one of the most favoured Asian faces at the model business. Sweet Tao's characteristic bowlcut inspired hair styles at the fashion week. Tao copies walked the runways for example at Lacoste show. Copy Okamoto's everyday fashionable style: combine a long knitwear to leggings. A short jacket brings a sense of layers and edge to the outfit. Sturdy heels and furbag finish the style.
