Homme Star
September 8th, 2008 Janelle comments (9)Vogue Hommes Japan hits newsstands with a bang. Hedi Slimane’s Samurai Fiction story is an electric mix of avant punk sensibility and tradition. Nicola Formichetti’s inventive styling takes the pictures to the next level while Models 1′s rising star Ash conveys the best of the Slimane aesthetic.

Japan is a country of many contradictions and yes they are caucasian obsessed. After all, Western culture is the basis of their contemporary counter-culture.
For such an attractive race they have a surprisingly low presence on the modelling scene (most of the Asian models are Korean and Chinese). It’s something agencies could work on. However I think “ashamed” is too strong a word because it’s more complex than that.

Really.. it’s a pity! Although the cover is good but still.. i prefer the japanese themselves put theirs on the cover..! They should be proud by using their own race for, at least, the first cover.. because i, myself, is an asian & i’m proud being it!!
If ashamed isn’t the right word.. how about “obsessed”? No offense to the Japanese & Caucasian, but i think they really over-rated the white people/culture..
