tao Spring/Summer 2026 Show

tao SS26 FLOWER This time, I focused on creating the collection that stays true to tao’s style ーand to myself. Some pieces were created using prints of Fumi Imamura’s floral artworks. I hope that by wearing them, one can carry the gentleness and strength her work embodies.
