Model of the Day: Tao Okamoto


One of my fav Asian Models, Tao!
She's currently a rising star and a proud joy for Asians. She just seemed to be able to show a piece of her even though she's all glam-ed up on the cover of a magazine or on the runway. It's like it is no longer just showing the outfit, it's also showing Tao Okamoto herself. So awesome and not to mention,
I loooove her street style and androgynous look. She was one of my inspirations for snipping off my looong flowy hair. (And now I'm having second thoughts of growing back to my long hair after doing up this post, darn!)
