I know haute couture is "aspirational" but come on, at least use models that the average Japanese could one day ,without resorting to genetic engineering, at least resemble..6ft long legged blondes may just be a bit too much to aim for..

So why not use more Japanese/Asian models? I find it quite worrying that Japanese fashion magazines has so many western models - the 'health' magazine Tarzan ALWAYS, with absolutely no exception, uses two western models (and the guy is always tall and skinny as hell).
