Using feathers as a symbol to indicate that above sense of freedom, the series was an workout in Americana, with cowboy boots, paisley prints, American shirts with arrow pockets, and tasseled skirts telling the story. Denim is Tanaka’s expertise, and so it remained now, with highlights being a Mexican tux festooned with bijoux, plenty of wonderful jeans, and a remarkably wearable- looking denim corset.
