Vogue Nippon November 2009 : Tao Okamoto by Inez & Vinoodh

[Miss Dalloway]

I simply adore Okamoto on this cover, and in the ed.

 

[-AmericanDreamer]

This really isn't how I pictured her cover. I like it.

 

[MON]

I like the cover... The G is not covering her face. Stunning ed! LOVE!

 

[Royal-Galliano]

imo the cover shot is just wrong considering she OWNS the issue. for once they put a japanese on their cover and they cover her eyes with glasses. i'd appreciate some eye contact! this [cover] turns out to be completely dry.

 

[yalil]

I am underwhelmed even if I am happy to see Tao. And I agree about the glasses-- her face shape is similar to a couple of models, I wasnt sure it was her.
So Ai Tominaga has never been on Vogue Nippon then?

Ai has been featured on the cover of Vogue Nippon. It was ages ago...i think that's why they mentioned Tao's the first Japanese/asian in a decade.

Congratulations to both Tao and Vogue Nippon! They really should feature more Asian models in their magazine and covers!
But why not putting her name on the cover since it's an all-Tao issue?

 

[waffles]

I have mixed feelings about this, from a wider perspective (and I agree about not seeing her eyes on the cover, ugh)... but still amazing for Tao!

 

[Fini]

I am definitely buying this, if just for supporting Tao.

 

[Demelza]

I actually think it's a great cover.

 

[imagensfashions]

Congrats to Tao. She deserves.

Does anyone know when this is out !?

 

[arlekindearrabal]

finally!
but why are her eyes covered?
it's beyond annoying

 

[Carla-A]

i love her boyish attitude, the way she's dressed... that's a great cover.

 

[TomFordforGucci]

There are additional shots over at Supreme Being. I like the collaboration with Glen Luchford the most.

 

[scratchBOOK]

The cover is not that special but great for Tao. The previews look very good.
Can anyone tell if Tao is mentioned on the cover?

To answer my own question: yes.
