Tao Kurihara Fashion Spring/Summer 2008

The pics below are from their catwalk show in Paris in 2007. I’ve only now stumbled upon them while cruising the web — and seeing as I was totally stunned by the pics, I’m here to share!

I’m not saying I’m going to be wearing these things out on the streets — but I love the draping, I love the Eastern look of the show — and I love the balls the designer is displaying combining 1800-look sleeves with 2008 knee-highs. Excellent collection!
