Many thanks to Runner:-) he let me know about this.

Tao
Comme des Garçons

A silent debut.
A romantic assortment of knitwear and lingerie, a taste for combining and welding them and for making them stand out and match: that’s what Kurihara Tao stands for.
Draw strings, corsets, padded buttons and lace literally make this young talent’s collection delightful: a talent who can still blush when dealing with such romantic details. After her professional apprenticeship in Watanabe’s studio, Tokyo, the stylist promises to explore a single concept each season.
Tao Comme des Garçons.

thanks runner...I can't decide what I think of this. I think I don't like it. I hope she does something tahts not corsets next season.

 

[PrinceOfCats]

What they call 'a pretty breath of candour', seems to me like nothing new.

As it's all about lingerie and young women in petites tenues I suspect your wish may not be granted, Helena.

 

[travolta]

very cute stuff. thanks for the extra photos

 

[softgrey]

ok...got my hands on the blue piece that runner posted...
and i have to admit...
it was GLORIOUS...
that pic doesn't do it justice....

it was just lovely...
completely impractical and basically unwearable...
but oh so lovely...




*not a very good colour though...imo...

I really love the Tao collection... saw it in Dover Street Market! Such strong craftsmanship. The pieces really feel like they've been made with love

I saw this in person for the first time this weekend. It is exquisitely made & put together but I just find corsets pretty unwearable although some good options shown above in the pics runner posted to dress it down. I saw a pink version of the blue one referred to above and it was so elaborate......

Actually I found a Tao jumper which was amazing. The knit was very complex like those still knitted by hand (but attracting much less adulation I am sure) in the shetlands or in eriskay but with little breast shapes knitted in....gorge! I think the price was less frightening tahn the corset prices too.

On a negative note there was a pair of huge big woolen knitted panties with a ribbon tie - now that was just plain silly!!!!

I think Tao to me is the most appealing of the different CdG lines.. I don't recall seeing any Tao in the Guerilla Store in Copenhagen.. maybe later on ??

 

[softgrey]

it seems that the corsets and 'hot pants' are always shown worn over another layer...

there is a page about the line in italian vogue this month(sept) and it's shown over a l/s top and some sort of leggings i think...

so maybe if we think of it as a VEST then it becomes more wearable???...
