  I’m kind of torn… It’s like they want to make Renn more relate-able to the Japanese public but at the same time… it’s unnecessary.

  I like that you’re trying to keep it real. But, in this case I think you’re overstating the case, Styleite. I’m sure that in Japan, Vogue readers know who Crystal Renn is — and that she’s not Asian. Regardless of the “taping,” Renn still looks Renn-ly.

  Leave it to Vogue to insult BOTH cultures, near and far.  Do you really think the asians are going to be “fooled” by the taping?  Do you really think anyone in American is going to be “fooled” by the taping?  No, and no.

  am I insulted? no not at all. am I impressed? not really..
  I believe the message is how western cultures are now adapting to Asian cultures and possibly standards of beauty(?) verses “Asians converting to western standards” or I could be wrong

  hmmm.. that’s a little bit too much. why not to choose asian model?

  Another non story from racist sensationalist bloggers. Renn looks like Renn, Not asian. And FYI many white models have naturally almond eyes like that for ex. Karlie Kloss and Magdalena Frackowiak among many others. Ironically “taping” is what asians use to make their eyes look wider not “asian”.

  I believe this is meant to re-sensationalize the beauty that asian eyes uniquely possess. Many women and even some men from asian countries get surgery to make their eyes more caucasian-looking, AKA adding an eyelid. I believe ADR was trying to almost play up an alternate reality where white people strive to look more asian, and I also think her message really was “Look, asian eyes are beautiful too!”

  It’s hard to argue one side or the other without really knowing the reality of what they were trying to portray. I don’t think there was any ill-intentions on this one, though.
