Tao Okamoto/Supreme Polaroid by Paul Rowland

A massive runway season is translating into beautiful campaign and editorial options for one of the most unique girls this season. Tao sealed the deal a New York run that included Marc Jacobs and  Ralph Lauren followed by a Dolce in Milan closed out  by brilliant bookings for McQueen, YSL, Vuitton and MiuMiu. More importantly this very elegant Japanese model has made of her presence something distinct and memorable.

    I ADORE Tao. She’s both charming and elegant, and the new haircut suits her to a tee. What a spectacular re-launch of a girl who never really got a chance to shine.

    Finally a Japanese girl! She’s so good in print and on the runway – I hope she’ll go far.

    Amazing what the right haircut can do too ;-)

    To see an Asian model do so well in a season reflects the extent to which the industry is truly starting to change for the better…I can’t wait to see what lies in her future, besides UCOB and Akris!! Her look – body, beautiful face, and hair – all scream fashion with a touch of sweetness, no one can dislike her!

    She did about 50 shows this season if I’m not mistaken. She’s amazing. Such a cute little pixie.

    lets do better comment for better pix/model…)
    there are models like Ginta Lapina (wich moved form MC2 to Woman that says alot about agency power ) who did YSL Miumiu Proenza Dolce and more and she s not been named among the new comers…i dont even like her but i think s a good deal for new girl…anohter model instead form Trump Yulia Lobova she only did Jil Sander i guess but she s absolutley amazing ( i shot a cover with her in person insane plus a real pro)..it s very disappointing to see here alwasy same face and name or just same kind of models or talents..

    amazing Tao…I saw her one year and half ago during a catwalk for Anteprima in Milan…not really a newcomer but a girl that has built her professinality and image day by day

    Can we PLEASE get some hispanics in the industry?
    All you ever see is asians, blacks, and whites.
    I’m hispanic and get turned down alot because i’m not white or whatever.
    We need to break down those walls, man!
    Hispanics are very miss-represented thanks to that whole ‘immigrant’ thing.
    I thought america was passed that…

    Her name is not Tao OKOMOTO, but Tao OKAMOTO.
    It is a complete misspelling we for Japanese though it might be a trifling thing.

    I prefer Liu Wen, she’s so attractive on the runway, I think she will do a good job.
