Bao Hoa Editorial for US Elle, September 2009

Bao Hoa is Vietnamese-American and has been modeling for years. Like Mey Bun (who is Cambodian-American), both girls have been modeling since before the Asian explosion in the mid-2000s -- when Du Juan and Hye Park came along and made it cool to have an Asian girl on the runway. Now Bao Hoa is posed to make a come back and here is an editorial in this month's issue of US Elle.

Hye Park Editorial for US Elle, June 2009

I'm all for avant garde work/editorial but these are not the most attractive or flattering photographs of Hye Park. In fact, some of the photos are particularly hideous!!! Why do US fashion editors feel the need to make Asian models look at weird as possible? Hye is such a beautiful girl but you couldn't tell at all from these photos.

Joe Zee, Anne Slowey and Roberta Myers, what were you all smoking in the back closet when this came across your desk? The Joe Zee and Anne Slowey from Stylista (the defunct tv-show) would have ripped this to pieces.
