Tadashi Shoji FW2018 & Store Opens Premier Boutique in Manila

A great understanding of the female body and a flair for modern femininity have led design house Tadashi Shoji to be among the brands trusted by celebrities and other high-profile women for red carpet events. The lifestyle brand can easily be located at major department stores in some of the world’s biggest cities in countries like the United States, China, and the Middle East. The brand is also recognizably represented every season at New York Fashion Week.

In the Philippines, Tadashi Shoji has been a long-time staple on the racks of luxury department store Rustan’s. This year, design house Tadashi Shoji announced that it is opening a premier boutique in Manila, at the 2nd level of Rustan’s Makati. The 80-square-meter boutique features an expansive stark white space that’s brightly lit by crystal chandeliers. Racks filled with elegant eveningwear and cocktail dresses line the walls of the store, while show-stopping creations occupy the beautiful showcases. Aside from just womenswear, the boutique will also carry the brand’s childrenswear, shapewear, and evening bags.

If that doesn’t thrill the well-heeled crowd, the Tadashi Shoji Fall/Winter 2018 collection will. The latest pieces are characterized by glitter, with heavy and elaborate beading that does not hold back on Old World glamour. Whimsical draping and loose silhouettes are other shared details highlighted by the collection. The brand and its designer find inspiration in the woman who enchants her life with her sensuality, color, and joie de vivre.

The pieces focus on accentuating a woman’s natural curves by way of cut, line, and silhouette. The dresses find common ground in bold hues and by delicately baring the shoulders. From knits and fringes, embroideries, peony prints, laces and tulles, up to jeweled and velvet clutches, the Fall/Winter collection is expertly designed for the elegant woman who enjoys living life.

Tadashi Shoji is exclusively available in Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Shangri-La and Rustan’s Cebu.
