tao

A London cue, tartan and red give Autumn/Winter 2023 a sharper city register within tao’s intimate Tokyo format. The reference suggests borrowed urban energy, but the clothes remain close to Kurihara’s vocabulary of softened layers, easy volume and textile-led charm. Checks, warm colour and small styling gestures keep the presentation grounded in fabric rather than nostalgia. Instead of treating British reference as costume, the season folds it into tao’s quieter scale, where pattern and colour carry most of the energy.
