Tadashi Shoji

Tadashi Shoji
Everyone thinks the fashion business is so glamorous. It's completely the opposite.
Tadashi Shoji

So many designers only sketch and leave pattern-making to others. Pattern-making is important so you know the structure. Then if someone tells me, 'I can't make a pattern from that sketch,' I can tell them, 'I will make it' and then they are quiet. If I can't make it, I don't design it.
Tadashi Shoji
I design to make women feel confident and beautiful.
Tadashi Shoji
Anyone can wear my dresses. They will look good on any figure, no matter what shape you are. I want to celebrate a woman's inner strength, to inspire real women and make them feel confident and beautiful.
Tadashi Shoji
I do not discriminate about size. I design dresses to accentuate a woman's positives, whether you are a size 0 or a size 3X.
