I love this model. Fujii Lena is one of the half-something/half-something models for Japan’s Vivi magazine–the greatest fashion magazine on the planet. Here is Lena in a “music video” of her wearing clothes, changing clothes, making smoochy faces at the camera, and posing in her underwear. I think guys will like it. Here she is talking about fashion–I think– with a cartoon wolf. Unfortunately because I only speak Mandarin, my Japanese is limited to reading kanji so I don’t know what the heck they are saying except for fa-sheen check-o.
Admittedly, Vivi is probably geared towards 14-year-old Japanese girls, but I am 23 and love it, so there. Vivi champions the mixed aesthetic. They use mostly half-Asian, half-white models to show the gorgeousness of diversity, not to mention the awesomeness of candy-colored clothes and moccasin boots (more on those later). My other personal faves are Marie and Jun, pictured below.
Marie, on the left. I hear she is half French-Canadian, and 100% gorgeous. Yay for big noses!
Gotta love Vivi’s selection of models.

I freaking love ViVi too. And it’s definitely not aimed for 14 year olds but for college students and women in their 20s. Woot!

Jun’s fullname is Hasegawa Jun
omg I love her too! She, Kiko and Lena are my favourites (but Jun is #1 after watching Saturday’s TOKYO GIRLS COLLECTION event haha).
And ViVi is aimed at about older teen (17-18ish) to late twenties and possible early thirties. You can tell cos stuff like Popteen is aimed at late-middle to high-school school students according to its content and clothing, and models, cos they tell a lot about the aimed demographic in case nobody noticed, lol.
