wow, uber-heavy styling.

i like the idea of the folksy/embroidery-like touches, but this seems really scattered and all over the place, not to mention totally over the top...

Inaya · 07-03-2009

I love this soo much, thanks for posting all the pics

I love how theatrical it is but I dont think it's over the top... I think the layering and styling is actually really amazing and it looks super intentional and precise to me despite the business

so many amazing pieces!! the silhouettes...

**MulletProof** · 07-03-2009

theatrical, that was the word!

I was thinking of Venice, carnivals, trying to come up with all sort of nonsense associations. but yes, I like the overflow of elements, it's a bit reminiscent of what Mina Perhönen did in winter 2007, definitely not accessible but so festive you can't really hate it!, what I like about this one is that when the stunning closeups come out, I'll wishing he had added yet another pile of garments!.

Utterly charming, I must say....It walks a fine line of being too much styling, yet pulled off a folklore fairy tale army of characters that delivers such wonderful pieces (particularly that purple velvet skirted dress put over a whiteshirt with the wonderful bonnet

)

i must say i agree with laika and you guys as well. i think there's certainly a lot of extraordinary things to take away but at the same time the thing i've come to adore about tao is her ability to express a certain fantasy or theatrics and still maintain an utter sublimeness. it is a bit over the top for her. but i still enjoy many things though. at least its over the top and theatrical in a positive way.

laika · 07-03-2009

^yes, it's a very joyful and exuberant collection.

I really do love those embroideries and branch-like patterns the most...can't wait for close-ups.

**Scott** · 07-03-2009

^i want to wear that white cape,black wrap coat and the b&w top with the contrasting narrow 'skirt'.

Inaya · 07-03-2009

laika same here i cant wait to see the close ups on this!!! whenever I buy a TAO piece I am always amazed at the intricacy and how great they wear

ParadEyes · 07-03-2009

it's like a Japanese/gothic Lolita gone to wonderland

the layering is outstanding

ElectricAlyce · 07-03-2009

I want HQ or close-ups... This looks interesting though, violent and innocent at the same time
