With the Fall 2009 Tadashi Shoji Fashion Show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion week just days away many publications are anticipating the event by examining the designer's inspiration. First we have the February 12th issue of the New York Times, which features a sketch of an upcoming Tadashi Shoji style. Then we have two articles from Women's Wear Daily, one from the 12th and one from the 14th, which discuss inspiration. Also included in the 14th issue is a sketch by Tadashi on top of the show schedule. Finally we have two from the 16th issue of Women's Wear Daily, which also uses the Tadashi sketch and speculates on the design decisions of the up-coming show.
