The Tadashi Shoji Fall 2023 RTW collection unapologetically celebrates the grandeur of occasion dressing. Resisting normcore’s commonness and athleisure’s dominance, we toast to the ornate and the eccentric. So, here’s to a season of gilded romance in which sublime elegance disarms and prevails.

A love for the ornate sparks lavish embellishments. Swag necklaces inspire highly decorative sequined embroideries on velvet, while second-skin illusions resemble gem-encrusted lace. Dresses festooned with beadwork and paillettes resemble body gem adornment that incites curiosity, drawing the eye up and down to accentuate hourglass shaping.

Sublime personal style captivates and inspires high drama looks that radiate evening drama. Gold ornamentation amplifies collarbone-skimming necklines on bead-encrusted dresses, and an opera cloak made from Baronet satin flowers with paillette florets commands attention.

Eccentric allure produces an intrigue with the unconventional. Alternative fabrications are draped and tailored to create regal magnetism. A sheer diamante mesh gown boasts floor-sweeping cape sleeves designed to move and sway with the gown’s hem, sequined-patchwork motifs deliver head-to-toe gloss, and an evening coat, relaxed and slightly oversized, is made from plush eyelash yarn that mimics fur.

This season, defy the ordinary. Appreciate the enchantment of grandeur and choose glittering excitement to transform the everyday into moments filled with gilded romance.
