Founded in 2005 in Tokyo by Tao Kurihara, a protégé of Rei Kawakubo and Junya Watanabe, tao (formerly tao COMME des GARÇONS and Tricot) is a celebrated sub-label within the Comme des Garçons universe. Kurihara, a Central Saint Martins graduate, initially launched her eponymous line to critical acclaim before it was paused in 2011, only to be quietly revived in 2021 when the Tricot line was rebranded back to tao.
