It's great to see a man on a Vogue cover, the styling is good and the pose/background/lighting is good too, I just wish I knew who he is. The editorials however are still too rough and amateur looking.

^ he is an actor, and a Japanese (that's all I know)

that's the best Vogue Taiwan cover EVER.

Is this the actual cover? Call me close-minded but since Vogue is a women's magazine, a man has nothing to do on the cover, especially alone, but this is Vogue Taiwan we're talking about so who cares?

 

[alice]

He's as gorgeous as always!

It`s one of their best covers to date but it still looks trash. Imagine that.

It somehow reminds me of Nicole Kidman`s US Vogue December 2000 cover

I knooooow hehe, it's shocking lol.

Well since they don't have a Vogue Taiwan Hommes or a Vogue Taiwan men edition, I think it's great that they also do support men's fashion with the publication and I don't really mind that he's by himself on a women's magazine. Remember the Vogue Korea with Lee Byung-heon and Josh Hartnett ? But yeah in the end the magazine has still a loooooooot of improvement to do but I think they're going in the right direction for me.

OMG I also had this image that popped in my head when I saw that and the Vogue Germany September 2011 Iris Strubegger by Alex Lubomirski.

[AL92]

Are you honestly serious LiranYana?
wow...

 

[emilylin]

^ maybe she likes that kind of man (just kidding)

 

[justaguy]

Is this really the cover? If so, hate to admit it, but this is their best cover this year!

Not much competition to beat in that field...

 

[justaguy]

^^ Exactly!! LOL

By the way, he was also on the cover in October 2002.

 

[congacon]

it's kinda ironic that the best vogue taiwan cover ever featured an actor.

 

[TianSoFine]

I think this only works because it's Takeshi. But what did they do to his face on the second cover?

I know He is gorgeous. (He's also half Taiwanese and Japanese) As far as the design goes though, its not a very good cover at all.

 

[LiranYana]

Are you honestly serious LiranYana?
wow...

well this is waay better than the recent Vogue Taiwan coves in recent months
so yes and the simple background actually works for Takeshi here
I like it !

 

[Lee MG Tisci]

Takeshi is one of the most handsome asian man i know but he looks so bad here!
he's overphotoshoped and well he's probably older from the last time i saw him like 5 years ago in the movie House of Flying Daggers

also glad to see Ai Tominaga
