Tadashi Shoji, debuted his Fall 2012 collection during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Lincoln Center. After showing his collection, he gave a private presentation in the American Express Skybox, where he spoke about his passion for designing, his inspiration behind the collection, and how his parents weren’t so sure that becoming a fashion designer was the best career path (they would have preferred him to pursue a career as a doctor or a lawyer).
At least they would have preferred that before they realized that Tadashi would become such a successful designer! And what does it take to be successful in the fashion design world?
According to Tadashi, it takes the ability to understand what makes a woman put a dress on and feel inspired, confident, and beautiful. Prior to Tadashi’s Fall 2012 runway show, photographer Jane Kratochvil headed backstage to capture some of the pre-show excitement consisting of models in hair & make-up and the hustle and bustle that takes place in the moments leading up to the highly anticipated show!
