Tadashi Shoji F/W 2012

This was by far one of my favorite collections from Tadashi Shoji. What I love most about this designer is his ability to offer colors and silhouettes to such a wide audience.

The mood for the collection was kind of gloomy, or as the designer put it himself, “The feeling is ominous, as if something is coming.” Shoji drew inspiration from the Golden Age of Shanghai which is apparent in a series of drop-waist dresses done in digital floral prints taken from a Chinese painting. The show closed with a striking black velvet gown with beaded lace embroidery at the neck, scalloped sequins and chiffon “shutters”. Simply stunning!

There is no denying that Tadashi Shoji has his feet in the right place, and with the Academy Awards just around the corder, these dresses could score another red-carpet revolution.
