You Know THAT Mom...

…the one you envy as she's dropping off her kids at school

looking comfortable, yet chic.

…the one that you see downtown, out to dinner with friends

--and not a milk stain to be found--in BLACK cashmere.

….the one whose trendy-but-not-overdone belt you covet

but there's just no time to find one like it

(or even find one you currently own)…

Now it's your turn.

Be THAT Mom.

Tadashi at Neiman Marcus


 

 

On May 2nd, 2013 I was invited to Neiman Marcus Tyson’s to interview Tadashi Shoji. 
Tadashi Shoji just celebrated thirty years as a successful designer.  Tadashi is known for his ability to drape fabric like no other designer . He understands the female form and how to make women look and feel beautiful.

Tadashi has dressed many celebrities over the years for the red carpet events, recently best known for putting Octavia Spencer into her Oscar winning gown.



As I sat with Tadashi and listened to his life story beginning as a young man in Japan, my admiration for him grew exponentially.

As a young man Tadashi explored his world   through many different types of jobs. He studied studio art, loved to read, and it wasn’t until he came to America that he discovered his passion for fabric.  He compared sculpting the human form with clay to draping fabric on a woman’s body.

Tadashi Shoji is a true gentleman and an incredibly talented designer. If you own one of his dresses you know how transforming his dresses can be. You feel beautiful, comfortable and confident when you slip into one of his creations. If you don’t own one of his very reasonably priced dresses, I highly recommend that you go to Neiman Marcus, Tysons Galleria and try one on.
