Now that New York Fashion Week is done, London Fashion Week kicks off. And it’s great to see all the Asian faces strutting down the catwalk. Here, some familiar names, like Shu Pei Qin, and some new ones, too.

And finally, Tao Okamoto, the reigning favorite among the Asian models. She of the coveted bowl cut walked so many shows, here at Central Saint Martins grad and under-the-radar favorite Mary Kantrantzou, in one of her fabulously graphic techno baroque prints.
