A 1992 graduate of London's Central Saint Martins, Tao is the latest hopeful to emerge from behind the scenes at Comme des Garçons, where she now works with her own team of six designers.
Tao's collections tend to be somewhat feminine and playful, often using doses of color or articles insprired by lingerie. Designing for four seasons under Comme Des Garcons, Tao's collections are often romantic and personal.
