From the November 5, 1956 FASHION feature - “NEW TRICKS IN TROUSERS: Pants Acquire Strange, Varied Shapes.” According to LIFE, “Now that trim, well-tailored slacks have become a staple with almost every woman who has a figure to match, designers are trying to lure them into new trick trousers that look zany on a clothesline, but are highly decorative when worn.” This image of “Puffy Pants” opened the feature and are made of silky cotton by Jamaica House, $65. (with inflation, these pants would cost well over $2000 today). (Sharland—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #fashionfriday #puffypants #vintagefashion #1950sfashion

I think you’ll agree I saved the best for last in today’s #FridayFashionTadashi Shoji feature - the CAPE GOWN!
Kellie Gerardi recently wore Tadashi Shoji’s Bourne sweeping cape gown to the Explorers Club Annual Dinner. You might have spotted it hanging between the Callisto and the Neptune in the last photo in this post, or on the runway in this post, but I think we can all agree that Felix Kunze’s portrait of Kellie from the event is just the MOST (with Kellie’s photo a close second).
Best of all, there are still a few dresses in stock and on sale!

You might have thought that the Oscars would have been peak astrofashion, maybe that’s because you didn’t know there was a SPACE PROM (I didn’t!), aka the Goddard Memorial Dinner. Fabulously attired attendees flaunted not one, not two, but three Tadashi Shoji pieces!
In the first photo, Erika (left) is wearing the Neptune gown (also seen on Domee ShiandChristina Hendricks) and and aerospace and defense strategist Kellie Gerardi is wearing the sleeveless Callisto gown (previously seen on Samira Wiley) with the black version of NK Jemisin’s cape.
But wait, there’s still more, because as Kellie shared on her Instagram (and I awkwardly screenshot), she owns not just both capes, but also the Callisto, Neptune, and a third dress we will showcase shortly…

In a brief break from dresses, after NK Jemisin rocked the cape at the 2018 Hugo awards,she was gifted a coordinating clutch from Tadashi Shoji!
I found similar pastel Solstice clutches, of which only the pink is currently available, but it’s on sale! Perfect for a princess astrophysicist?

We really should have realized back in August that were was more to Tadeshi Shoji’s 2018 ready-to-wear collection when we were alerted to the amazing black and gold “galaxy sweeping” cape* that author NK Jemisin wore to the Hugo awards, at which she accepted her third Best Novel award for the Broken Earth trilogy.She tweeted, we were tagged, and reader, we did not post it. *sad trombone*
Last month The Cape came up on our radar again, including this photo from Alyshondra Meacham’s coverage of the Hugo red carpet showing of its full-length glory and newly anointed TED fellowProf. Erika Hamden’sInstagrames-cape-ades!
But that’s not all! Watch this space for more #FridayFashion!

*(The cape was also available in a black-on-black version, but those photos are no longer on the product page.)

Here’s a dreamy FBF to the SAG Awards in January when Samira Wiley looked out of this world in this gown from Tadashi Shoji’s Spring 2018 Ready to Wear collection. Her dress was one of four gorgeous celestial designs that graced the runway last fall.
SWOON TO ALL.
-Summer
As it turns out, these celestial dresses(andthis one) were only the beginning of the startorial supernova created by Tadashi Shoji recently. Summer and I have completed our observing campaign, and we are ready to share the results with you today - watch this space for a very special #FridayFashion!

Whoever said Black dresses are boring and basic has never met me! There’s lots of ways to dress up and add your own flair to the classic #LBD for every occasion, and one of my favorite ways is by adding a bold, bright lip!
speaking of bold lip looks, i Think I finally completed the never ending quest to find the #perfectred!
it’s no secret that I’ve always been a fan of fierce #redlips, but finding the right shade that stays on and doesn’t bleed all over my face has been a major challenge, that is until I found @gxvebeauty by @gwenstefani during my first big trip to an actual #irl @sephora in MORE THAN TWO YEARS, because #pandemiclife, and discovered this absolutely amazing #liquidlipstick it feels amazing on my lips, tastes like cake, and best of all doesn’t smudge or transfer when I accidentally touch my mouth or try to eat or drink!!! I’m in love, the only problem is it’s currently only available in one color, and while this red is totally gorgeous, I need this formula in every color of the rainbow, please!! I love bright lipstick, but I can be hard to wear as part of every day make up looks, but I’m calling it now @gxvebeauty Is totally going to change the game in that regard and I couldn’t be more excited about the possibilities!!
