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!)

Agency: Marilyn

Career: Opened shows like Miu Miu. Ad campaign for Jill Stuart, Barney's, Alexander McQueen, Miu Miu, Prada, Mulberry, etc... On the cover of Vogue Italia, Turkey, China and British. And so much more...

One of the things that is caught my attention was when I read about how young Wixson asked for a bra during a photoshoot where she was wearing a sheer top. And I saw the article where she mentioned she's still young and it's not appropriate for her to go nude. In addition, she stated how her mom wouldn't like that either.
That's a one of a kind model! I love how she firmly stands up to her believe even though she's surrounded by so much lights, glamour and as-a-matter-of-fact nudity.

She was listed as one of my top most favourited models and I can't wait to see her shine even brightly in the future.

So keep an eye out for her!
