- In its second season since rebranding from Tricot Comme des Garçons to "Tao," the collection takes on the concept of "Extravagant mix of textiles." In contrast to the previous season, which focused on a black-and-white color scheme, this season features a collection overflowing with colors and patterns. By mixing a variety of prints and materials, ranging from heavy, substantial fabrics to light, veil-like layers that drape over the body, the collection expresses strength through this eclectic combination.

Tricot Comme des Garçons was founded in 1981. The designer started with Rei Kawakubo, followed by Junya Watanabe, and since 2002, the brand has been under the direction of Tao Kurihara. Kurihara, while still working with Tricot, launched her own line, "Tao Comme des Garçons," in the fall/winter of 2005-06, which was presented at Paris Fashion Week. However, the line ended after the spring/summer 2011 season, and she then focused solely on Tricot.

In the spring/summer season of 2022, Tricot rebranded under the name "Tao," removing the "Comme des Garçons" from the label. The design team, led by Kurihara, remains the same, so the overall approach has not changed from the previous Tricot collections. This item is from their first fall/winter season under the new name.
