Tadashi Shoji, debuted its Spring/Summer 2019 Collection at New York Fashion Week at Spring Studios — Gallery 1.

Look ahead — and up. Somewhere, something beautiful is waiting to be discovered. Spring 2019 is inspired by going to space and the feeling of hope, because the future is bright and star-filled.

Galaxies — mysterious and captivating — underscore the collection’s vibe. Glossy finishes and chrome sheens play up sensual cutouts and figure-skimming draping. Sequins glitter like liquefied jewels. They drip down like sleek silhouettes and sculpt sexy shapes.

Colors blend from darkness to vivid darkness, reflecting the Milky Way’s enchanting nebulous glow. A red-iron ombre, coated with clear paillettes, creates multi-dimensional shimmer.

Venus, aptly named after the goddess of love, burns the brightest with her grace, charm and beauty. Gowns enjoy a natural ease and ethereal prettiness, evident in blouson waists, Watteau trains, and cosmos-printed chiffon.
