22 year-old Japanese model Tao Okamoto is fast becoming one of this years most popular faces after enjoying massive runway, editorial and campaign success. Having already worked with YSL, Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton her big break came this year when her bowl cut hair became the signature look for all the models at the 3.1 Philip Lim show and inspired countless other imitations.
With an personal style as edgy as her runway walk, we can’t help but draw similarities between Tao and Rihanna. Aside from there similar hairstyles, in Tao’s current editorial for Vogue Nippon magazine (shot by Daniel Jackson and styled by Sissy Van) most of the clothes feel like they could be right out of Rihanna’s wardrobe.
More images after the cut. Do you think Tao Okamoto’s the Japanese Rihanna?
