Tadashi Shoji is the founder and chief designer of the Tadashi and Tadashi Shoji collections.
Born and raised in Sendai, Japan, he began painting and drawing from a young age.
His talent was soon recognized and he was recommended for an apprenticeship with Japan's leading contemporary artist,
Jiro Takamatsu, who is credited with paving the way for the modern art movement in Japan during the sixties.
It was during this period that Tadashi became intrigued with New York City and its role in the contemporary art scene.
He moved to the United States to attend university in Los Angeles and further his artistic development,
when he discovered fashion design and awakened a life-long passion.
As a student, Tadashi was presented with the unique opportunity to work with famed costume designer Bill Whitten.
In the flamboyant seventies, every major recording artist was demanding a Whitten original,
and Tadashi created designs for A-list stars including Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Neil Diamond, The Jacksons,
and Earth, Wind, & Fire.

Established in 1982 by designer, owner, and president Tadashi Shoji,
the Los Angeles-based fashion house Tadashi became widely recognized for its original designs & innovative collections.
The company has seen steady growth since its inception and is carried in more than 4,000 major department
and specialty store doors worldwide, including Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, and Macy’s. Isetan, Epoca the Shops, and Anniversaire Omotesando.

The Collection features high-end, one-of-a-kind pieces created with luxurious fabrics
and hand-embroidered beading.
By featuring the utmost in luxury and elegance,
the much-anticipated collection continues to elevate and hone the brand's image in the marketplace.
