Appropriately, as it is awards season, his dresses have garnered much attention \u2013 most recently seen on <strong>Kelly Osborne<\/strong> at the <strong>Grammy\u2019s<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>Most of us don\u2019t get the chance to attend these events and the closet we\u2019ve come to seeing a Shoji original, is in a glossy magazine. So to see his work in the flesh was a definite treat. The richness of the fabrics and the laser sharp tailoring with sultry subtleness can only really be truly admired when you see it live. Photos don\u2019t do these beautiful dresses justice.<\/p>\n<p>Shoji showcased so many different dresses, it\u2019s hard not to appreciate his passion. Bold colors mixed in with neutrals helped make his palette diverse and wearable for almost all skin tones. He played with different necklines, sleeve lengths and shapes that it really gave a really broad scope of his talent. <\/p>\n<p>With the awards seasons in full swing, we can\u2019t wait to see who else will be lucky enough to don a Shoji original.<br \/>\n<!--break--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When showing an entire collection of dresses, one can risk incohesion or a boring variation on a theme.
