tadashi shoji

Founded in 1982 by Japanese-born, American-based designer Tadashi Shoji, the brand was established to address a gap in the market for special occasion dresses for women of all ages, ethnicities, and sizes. With a background in fine art and an apprenticeship under famed costume designer Bill Whitten, Shoji brought an artist’s eye for draping and form to ready-to-wear. The brand’s core mission is to offer beautiful, confidence-inspiring designs that are masterfully tailored to flatter all figures. Signature styles include draped jersey gowns, intricate lace and embroidered cocktail dresses, and pleated chiffon looks that utilize couture-inspired techniques like ruching and strategic darting to enhance the female form.
