Tao Okamoto as Tina Chow in this month's Paris Vogue…it's hard to find anyone as beautiful as Tina was but Tao makes a wonderful doppelgänger. 

I was so happy to see a tribute to Tina…she will always be my number one style icon.

Here is a collage I made of some photos of her.

Tina

Thank you to everyone who has shared their pictures of Tina!

Must run…I have a plane to catch soonl. I'll be in New York for three days and Paris for three days. Very exciting things await me, I am so nervous right now.

    I basically said how amazing I thought these images were, and what a style icon Tina Chow is. Love that collage.

    If you find yourself in need of respite during your trip to Paris, visit le Jardin du Luxembourg on la Rive Gauche: the leaves may be changing now, and it should be beautiful. Rive droite, le Centre Culturel Suedois is a haven in the Marais: perfect caffe latte and bites to eat.

    Ah! I read in one of your previous blogs about her and saw the picture where she is applying makeup in a bus or something? She seems absolutly incredible and I think she suits you as a style icon. Where did you find out about her? How do people know about these amazing women who existed in a time that isn’t now? Looking forward to your next post xxx

    I’ve been a fan of Tina Chow since I was a teen, over twenty five years ago.
    I remember Ted Muehling showed some of her jewelry work right after she passed. I’m still kicking myself for not buying her chunky bracelets!
    ps- it would be great to see you engaged in something meaningful like the Peace Corps or Docteurs Sans Frontiers

    Everything is beautiful, but… you should remove the sticker from the sole immediately.

    IT IS hard to look at the Capitol in Washington, DC, without a frisson of excitement
