Cover Story & Profile: Kiko Mizuhara for WOW Magazine

  • Naomi Morris Omori

I wrote the cover story profile of Kiko Mizuhara for WOW Magazine's Issue 4 (2021). The profile explores the actor and model's relationship with her 'mixed roots' identity, her passion to use art as a form of self-expression, her love of celebrating individuality, allyship to the LGBTQ+ community, and climate change. 'One of Japan’s most famous supermodel rose to fame after starring in the adaptation of Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood(2010), making her a household name. Now, she's pursuing her own creative projects.'
