Tadashi Shoji SS 2016

New York Fashion Week – Tadashi Shoji Spring/ Summer 2016

Tadashi Shoji is a designer that’s really in tune to women with various shapes and sizes. He’s had his collection for over 25 years. Needless to say, he knows a thing or two about women’s dresses and gowns. At this year’s New York Fashion Week Tadashi Shoji Spring/ Summer 2016 show he presented a gorgeous mix of long and short dresses. The collection included pastel colors, lace, chiffon, sheer and gorgeous flower appliqué details. As you can probably tell, I am such a fan of Mr. Shoji! On a personal note, two years ago, I was lucky enough to travel to Beijing China (courtesy of Mr. Shoji). This trip highlighted his fashion show and the opening of his flagship store in Beijing. The show was nothing short of amazing, with gorgeous designs from his Fall 2013 collection. I even wore a Tadashi gown to the show. And for those who know me personally, they can tell you without a doubt, that this was a rare sight for me. Additionally, we also had a chance to enjoy some of the historic sights of the city that included the Great Wall and The Forbidden City. I will always be grateful to Mr. Shoji for such an amazing experience!

The Tadashi Shoji Spring/ Summer 2016 designs were fresh and easy, always with a feminine silhouette and his trademark detailing. It is easy to see why First Lady Michelle Obama, Janelle Monáe, Jenna Elfman and of course, Octavia Spencer, to name a few. They’re all dedicated fans! Here’s a look at the stunning looks from the runway show. (For the full show check out Vogue)
