Collection Inspiration

Bathed in the glow of ancient temples and perfumed with the scent of tropical blooms, the Spring/Summer 2026 collection is a celebration of Thailand’s timeless beauty. Gowns drift like wind through bamboo groves—graceful, intentional, and alive with movement. At the heart of the collection is the lotus—a sacred bloom rising through still water, unfurling in painterly chiffon prints and blossoming in embroidered tulle. Metallic jacquards shimmer like temple rooftops at sunset, while corded embroidery and lace echoes sacred carvings. A palette of antique pink, vibrant magenta, sea green, royal blue, and majestic gold reflects the vibrant splendor of Siam’s temples, landscapes, and rich traditions. A collection that carries the glow of Thailand through every fold and flourish—where every gown becomes a step through memory, beauty, and the quiet shimmer of a distant dream.

A journey through Thailand’s splendor, told in lace, embroidery, and shimmering jacquards,” says Shoji’s show notes

Following the New York Fashion Week official launch, the Spring/Summer 2026 collection is available to view on www.tadashishoji.com
