"      Upon entering the backstage area at 3.1 Phillip Lim, the first thing I noticed was that the models were totally wigging out! And by wigging out, I mean each girl was wearing a custom-snipped wig to resemble a 1960s mushroom cut. Only one model&amp;#039;s natural hair was left uncovered\u2014and that model was Tao Okamoto. Credited as &amp;quot;Phillip Lim&amp;#039;s muse&amp;quot; by lead hairstylist Odile Gilbert, Okamoto&amp;#039;s hairstyle was the gold standard. Here, my backstage chat with the raven-haired beauty...   \u2014Emily Hebert   How does it feel to be Phillip Lim&amp;#039;s muse? I&amp;#039;m so excited because I did his fall look book and he said, &amp;quot;Oh, you&amp;#039;re so beautiful,&amp;quot; and I was like, &amp;quot;Ooooh! Thank you!&amp;quot; Then he said, &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;d be so great if all the girls at the show had your hairstyle.&amp;quot; I thought he was joking, but look at this!   Was that the first time you met Lim? Yes, I just met him for the first time two weeks ago!   How long have you had your hair cut this way? Almost one year. My hair was really long but I wanted to cut it because all Asian girls have the same hairstyle\u2014long, black, straight hair. I wanted something to change, so I did it.   Where did you go to get your hair done? I got it done in Japan by a Japanese stylist so I have to say thank you to her! Her name is Miho Matsuura and she owns Twiggy Salon in Tokyo.
