Tadashi Shoji showed his fall/winter 2015/2016 collection on Thursday, February 12, 2015 at The Salon, Lincoln Center. As someone who has been a huge fan of Tadashi Shoji for over twenty years, I was thrilled to be able to see his new collection in person. The fall 2015 collection Tadashi Shoji presented on the runway in New York was everything a fan of the designer would expect; and more.

The show started off with beautiful, knee-length dresses, and as the show progressed, hemlines grew longer, and dreamier, full ball gowns appeared. It was an effortless collection with incredible, flattering lines, and flowing, feminine silhouettes. There was intricate lace, layers of sheer, dreamy fabrications, and an eye catching color palette. 

The colors on Tadashi Shoji’s fall 2015 runway featured chic black, black and white, sophisticated navy, vivid lavender, soft shades of purple, touches of gold, and bluish-green. It was a wonderland for the eyes, and inspiration for the fall. Pure genius.

Now, I just need to plan my fall and winter social calenders to include events which would be an ideal excuse for wearing one of these dresses. I am in love! What do you think of the collection?

Tadashi Shoji can be found online at Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus

Costello Tagliapietra showed their fall/winter 2015/2016 collection at New York Fashion Week on February 12, 2015 at The Pavillion in Lincoln Center. It was an incredible show featuring dark, traditional autumn hues on feminine fabrications mixed with menswear details. The entire collection was exquisite.

Costello Tagliapietra featured texture with soft silk, and warm wool, combined with heavy, menswear inspired footwear. There was a slightly retro vibe with wide leg trousers, tie-waist jackets, and school-girl jumpers.

I loved the texture, color palette, and jumpers. What do you think of the collection?
