MBFW Pick of the Day: Tadashi Shoji

As an official sponsor of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, we’re celebrating our headlong plunge into this fabulous event with what we do best: amazing sales. And while our fashion team is off getting a first glimpse at the new collections, we’re bringing you some of our all-time favorite designer pieces—like this electric purple cocktail dress by Tadashi—the same day his runway show debuts.

Dominated by geometric patterns and futuristic shapes, Tadashi’s designs are true masterpieces. Though less flamboyant than the stage costumes he started out making in the ‘70s—Bill Whitten, the man responsible for Michael Jackson’s silver glove and Elton John’s feather gorilla suite, was his mentor—Shoji’s sculptural designs are still never lacking for flair. This sexily-draped, off-the-shoulder dress in a purple hue that jumps off the fabric is giving our trusty LBD a run for its money. It’s bold, flattering, and deceptively stretchy. Instead of drowning in a sea of black at your next cocktail party, opt for this bright hue and prepare to be the most standout woman in the room—no one will ever guess you’re also the most comfortable. Get it here!
