The juxtaposition works well and the fact that the 'polo shirt' is made with silk adds another twist. This magnificent piece invites meditation about the nature of fashion and its potential. There are one thousand and one possibilities to present an idea. Tao Kurihara makes a very personal statement. Her work is about ideas about fashion. Rei Kawakubo and Junya Watanabe have been her mentors, it is clear, but Tao Kurihara speaks with her own voice, a strong, beautiful, poetic voice. ‘it allowed for an exploration of subtly masculine and explicitly feminine elements, beautifully juxtaposed.’

Her work is still amazing with a wonderful attention to detail. I'm very impressed! I remember the work of Tao Kurihara for Comme des Garçons and it’s great she was given her own label.

The mono-color allows the interesting materials used to to be the focus as does the traditional shape. The main focus is clearly the texture.
