Designer Spotlight: Tadashi Shoji S/S 2011 Collection

And the nude/neutral tones have returned! Japanese Designer Tadashi Shoji presented his S/S 2011 collection of evening gowns sans runway on Friday.

Simple, sophisticated and sexy is how I would describe this collection.

.

I can never say no to beautiful and elegant ruffling. The muted tones with pops of gold and lilac create a very soft palette that would look great under the summer sun (kind of wish his stage had better lighting, it doesn't seem to do his collection any justice). The dresses and gowns were all classic and sleek and would be perfect for celebs to wear to parties or premieres. I have a feeling many of these will end up on a red carpet somewhere in Hollywood!

I rate this 4/5 runways...er...presentation stages?

Tokyo Girls Collection Autumn/Winter 2010

Yesterday was the Tokyo Girl's Collection A/W show in Japan, a fashion festival that attracted 30,000 people to attend. The theme for this season's collection was Back to the Classic Future, meaning "looking back at the roots of the brands and expressing them for the future". Some of the brands featured in the show included Top Shop, Kitson, Cecil McBee, blondy, etc.

A summary of the collection is a mixture of fur pieces combined with lace, florals and knee high boots. Here are some of my favorite looks:

The hard look of the military jacket is softened with the addition of fur and lace detailing on the dress underneath... and a knitted shower cap haha

I wonder if that jumper is tweed?...now that would be an awesome jumper!

I just really like the print on the skirt and the oxford shoes but I would pick a different top.

That fur bag (hopefully it's faux) looks so luxurious, it'd look so prett y to have when it snows :)

Wow, a mop jacket, if I ever spill anything I can just use my jacket instead of wasting paper towels or shamwows! Going green at its best I suppose... haha

Totally wishing I had the legs to pull off over the knee boots!Let's end with this guy, because he's just fierce! lol
