Tadashi Shoji Fall 2016
/ E. Vincent MartinezIt was an edgier, sexier season for Tadashi Shoji. Tadashi embraced tribal motifs and tattoos, wet hair and smoldering eyes. Designers often revamp their aesthetic to stay relevant and attract younger clients. Well-played Tadashi. There are some rock-star looks in this collection. Tadashi tastefully gave us skin, revealed though sheer fabrics, and also gave us leg via show-stopping thigh-high slits. There were short body-con dresses and beautiful flowy long ones in chiffon with just the right amount of sequin and pattern.
Tadashi Shoji's stunning Fall 2016 RTW was shown at the Arc at Skylight Moynihan Station and featured jewelry created in collaboration with Sequin, a NYC-based design studio. Sequin designed the choker and arm chains shown throughout the collection. Yet another way Tadashi kept "it" fresh this season.
