I started the long process of organizing my archive and found images I like or are interesting that I wanted to share. I'm starting with this image of Tao Okamoto. This was back in 2010 for the Fall shows. This is the moment when I thought- who is this beautiful woman with the 5 point Sassoon Hair cut?

I stopped cold when I first saw Tao at a casting. She had her Peggy Moffit Vidal Sassoon 'bob' hair cut. Who was this beautiful woman? I finally was able to meet her last year during casting and fittings while she had this pixie cut. Very cool, very beautiful, very professional- wonderful to work with. The shows I have seen online it looks like she is growing out her hair. At the Akris show in Paris it looks like they gave her extensions. She looks amazing in anything. If you haven't seen this Emporio Armani Campaign Video, she takes a star turn.
