Tadashi Shoji’s Spring 2016 collection was absolutely breathtaking! With a continuous blend of soft pastels, sheer stunners and an understated elegance, the designer garnered inspiration from both Japan and the classic aesthetic. But, get this, each look presented a different story and the meticulous detail within each garment proved that more is always better!
Shoji stuck to the concept of feminine flair this season. While clinging to A-line silhouettes, floral embellishments and layered tulle midi skirt, the models looked as if they were (literally) floating down the runway. I also applaud the underlying whimsical appeal behind a few of the designer’s gowns.
There were even a few trends spotted amongst Shoji’s delicate ensembles – from obi belts to capes to see-through sweatshirts, the presentation successfully brought forth innovative creativity while incorporating familiar themes.
All in all, this was a great collection! As aforementioned, Shoji certainly has a knack for injecting signature elements from his culture into each individual piece. It almost seems as if there’s a subtle sultriness etched deep within his designs. Of course – there were a few plunging necklines and tons of sheerness but the sophistication of each look was never subdued. And, that’s what I love!
And, that about sums it up! So, what did you think of Tadashi Shoji’s Ready to Wear Spring 2016 collection?
