Tadashi Collection Weblog

Dear Tadashi:
Thank you so much for the beautiful gowns you have made for the Royal Court. On behalf of the Royal Court, we all appreciate the hard work and dedication you have made to produce the stunning dresses that we will wear for the parade. It was so nice to meet you and we cannot wait to model your amazing talent.

Sincerely,
Queen Mary & the Royal Court

Dear Tadashi,

Angela had asked me to send you a picture of me wearing by beautiful outfit on New Years Day. I don't have any showing the entire outfit, except in large group pictures. This is the best I could do; I had this blown up from a picture with six other people!

I look forward to your Miss USA party next week, and I plan to wear my Tadashi outfit!

Sincerely,

Susan Holman

(Wife of Paul Holman, President of the Rose Parade)

The 89th Annual Rose Queen Mary McCluggage and the royal court in beautiful Tadashi sequined taffeta gowns.

If you saw the 2008 Tournament of Roses Parade this year then you may have noticed that the beautiful Queen Dusty and her lovely court were wearing Tadashi Shoji Fall 2007 basket weave detail evening gowns. We received this photo of them dressed for the festive occasion accompanied with four members of the Tadashi Shoji team. From right to left they are Rocio, Angela, Barbara and former team member Christopher.

Contrary to popular belief it is not just the Rose Queen and here Court who wear Tadashi gowns. Those behind the scenes wear them as well as seen in this wonderful photo of the stunning Tournament of Roses ladies, each in their Tadashi gown of choice.

If you enjoy watching the Tournament of Roses parade then be sure to keep an eye out for these lovely ladies. Queen Courtney and her royal court will be dressed in these splendid Tadashi gowns to wave in the new year.

The December 30, 2008 LA Daily News included a nice little interview with Tadashi regarding the 2009 Tournament of Roses Parade.

The August issue of Arroyo magazine features an article on Tadashi's gift for designing styles for women of all body types.

Early last month Natalie Innocenzi had been officially crowned the 92nd Rose Queen at the Pasadena Convention Center. Both she and her court shall be appearing in the New Years Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade wearing elegant silk crinkle chiffon one shoulder gowns from the Fall/Winter 2009 Tadashi Shoji Collection.

"...The seven ladies of the Royal Court also debuted the beautiful one-shouldered gowns provided by designer Tadashi Shoji. 'The gowns are gorgeous,' exclaimed the newly crowned Queen. 'We absolutely love them and truly feel like royalty in them....'"
