Anyone can wear my dresses. They will look good on any figure, no matter what shape you are. I want to celebrate a woman's inner strength, to inspire real women and make them feel confident and beautiful.
From Tadashi Shoji
Time flies so quick. I remember my second year in business when Bullocks Wilshire did a whole window of my white dresses. I was so excited, I went there at night and took pictures.
When I was young, about 18 or 19, I read all the Dostoyevsky novels, which made me want to go to St. Petersburg. So I went, and I was so inspired.
Don't wear dresses that are too tight. A size number is just a number. If the fit is comfortable, it will look more elegant.
I like quiet. No television cameras. I'm not the Hollywood type.
Am I famous in Japan? I don't know, and I don't really think of myself in that way.
My brother told me he was very proud of me, of the business I have built, and that gives me joy.
I am not really brand-conscious; I pick out clothes that appeal to me regardless of the label, but I consider my style very American.
As I get older, I find that wearing bright colors cheers me up.
There's almost a T-shirt feeling to wearing my evening dresses.
