Uniqlo, the Japanese brand that is synonymous with inexpensive but high quality basics, has always used Asian models in their ads, including Japanese celebrity, (Iron Chef) Masaharu Morimoto. This season's line-up of models include Eugenia Mandzhieva (Russian) and Gwen Lu (Malaysian).
Two other Asian models whom I don't recognize are also in the Fall 2008/Winter 2009 ad campaign. Does anyone know who those two models are?

It's rare to see Japanese companies used ASIAN models in their ad campaigns.
