Tao Comme Des Garcons is a diffusion line under the Comme Des Garcons empire. Discontinued in 2011, it was quietly revived in 2021 after the closure of Tricot Comme Des Garcons, also helmed by Tao Kurihara.
Her work defies expectations and pushes boundaries of fashion, much like the giants she once worked for. As a protege of Junya Watanabe and Rei Kawakubo, She is well known for her knitwear and overtly elegant and voluminous garments.
As the master of doll-like style, her work is often compared to wedding dresses and wedding cakes. Which is evident in how she prances with fabric. Folding, pleating, and manipulating it into extraordinary shapes.
This dress from AW08 is topped with charming ruffles, romantic drapery, and floral lace embellishments.
