asian beauty and style: Just around the corner

S/S 2007 shows were charmingly well-cast with a handful of stand-out Asian models that set the tone for each designer's style and edge. With the F/W 2007 shows not even a month away (gasp!) here are a few to keep your eyes glued on:

Ah, the classic & yet still absolutely stunning Ai Tominaga who set the bar and paved the way for the rest to come. Here at Alberta Ferretti looking goddess-like. How beautiful and composed can she be!?

Anne Watanabe, who's snapshots were on every glossy for her charming walk swathed in the splashy, hot colored flirty, breezy designs of the next-hot-man in town, Stephen Burrows. She also got beckened and made a splash at Anna Sui and Marc by Marc.

This girl seriously has it all going on. The traditional asian beauty with sharp, sleek eyes, pouty lips and glistening jet black hair - as seen at Gucci backstage - Han covered all the "it" shows including Chloe, Louis Vuitton, Celine, YSL, Karl Lagerfield, Valentino, Cavalli...phew.

Speaking of Louis Vuitton, Hye Park shared the backstage fun and runway with Han and pulled off the futuristic/80's pop color DSquared2 aero-wear AND Blumarine's romantic, floral sheer summer dresses with the same edge and finesse. Absolutely gorgeous and with lots of attitude, Viktor & Rolf totally hit the nail when they squabbled over her busy bookings schedule this year - will they get her in Feb 07? (psss, she walked Prada and Burberry, too!)

A tanned, slim version of tinker bell, this ethereal long-legged, tiny faced model, Eugenia M. was cherished by designers as Marc Jacobs, Andrew Gn, Lanvin and Tuleh - see the trend there? Every downtown Soho girl wants to be her. Me, included...

Last but not least - completely Brit and purely Aussie but if you love fashion, how can you NOT love these two super stars? Had to add so hope you love them too! Gotta love - Kate Moss & Gemma Ward
