I have to say it's very common in Asian market. Many Asian women admire the body features of Caucasian women, that's why magazines use lots of white girls. Also, Vogue Japan is one edition of the brand "Vogue", which is a western style fashion magazine in Japanese market. As far as I have known, there are also many Japanese fashion magazines which use many Asian models as well. The style of these magazines are more local/Japanese style.

Also the editor-in-chief of Vogue Japan is Japanese. Anna Dello Russo is just fashion editor-at-large. And I think Vogue Japan is now using/featuring more Japanese/Asian faces in their magazines, which is a good sign. I do hope they give more chances to their home girls especially now models like Chiharu is doing very good in international market.

Doesn't ADR have a large input in Nippon's editorial direction? The mainstay editorial team like George, Sansone, Pantone etc. are Anna's people.

It's not just the Asian market where Western influence and aspirations permeate, it's pretty much a dominant factor in any market. Still, that shouldn't hinder them from promoting local talent. It would also go against what Mitsuko said about their values and not being biased on the perception of beauty if they only use Caucasian models. Chinese and Korean Vogue utilizes their own models, photographers & celebrities better.

i don't believe the editorial with Meaghan, Jean-Michel Basquiat as a reference, and you use her? It doesn't have the full effect that it could have with someone like Grace Mahary

This Dior Resort collection actually looks better in Karlie than some models at the runway. It's very simple, and even if Karlie looks amazing like she usually does it's still very forgetful

God, Patrick Demarchelier is boring.
