WoW! No Rei Kawakubo?! You lose! Good day sir.

Hey Frank, it's Jian, the author of the piece. The idea of the list was to highlight Asian-Pacific men who exhibit great personal style. While there are two exceptions in terms of technical "Americans" I was careful to include American-based artists, shop owners, and designers. It's no secret that Japan has been killing it on the style front for a while, but Kawakubo, Nigo, Issey Miyake, Junya Watanabe and their ilk are clearly repping Japan. Plus Ms. Kawakubo, though talented and steezy in her own right, would be out of place on a list highlighting male personal style right?

I agree in part with the list but i feel you missed one in Christian Hosoi.
Kelcey June 1st, 2011 at 06:06 PM
Agreed. Hosoi was iconic.

I'm pretty sure Humberto Leon is part Chinese, not filipino.
