My favorite Vanity Fair Issue (September 2008) had a feature on fashion’s new guard, and lo and behold, there are Asians in there. And lots of them! It’s happening in the fashion industry (Doo.ri, Alexander Wang, Peter Som, Richard Chai, Phillip Lim, than Thakoon Panichgul are pictured below), happening in film, in architecture and in many other creative industries.

Exciting times are a coming (minus the financial crisis, but I suppose that’s exciting too - in a whole other way). God willing, hopefully soon we’ll be seeing some diversity at the White House too.
