The Vogue Taiwan 'Pop Story' editorial is vibrantly retro. Although there is a predominant '80s vibe, a few '50s and '60s style references are made as well. For instance, a modern take on the beehive crops up a couple of times as well as a typical greaser look.

Shot by Paris-based photographer Naomi Yang, the Vogue Taiwan Pop Story editorial is fun and funky. It stars model Codie Young. The Australian beauty has displayed her chameleon capabilities a lot of late, going from [mod geisha](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playing-fashion-march-2012-cover) to [sulky socialite](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/codie-young-please-magazine) in a blink of an eye. This time around, she channels her inner vintage vixen with the help of Yoko Miyake who clad her in Chanel, Balenciaga, Dries van Noten and Gucci.
