Tadashi Shoji is not only the mastermind of choice for celebrities in search of evening wear, but he's also a go-to for real folk—those of us with a more restricted budget and perhaps a non-model figure—looking to be just as glam.

In the gallery above, we picked out five fall styles to expect. After the jump, check out five spring styles to tide you over in the meantime.

While you're perusing the spring options on offer, also note that Tadashi Shoji and runway show guest/friend/fan Johnny Weir have teamed up to design a $25 t-shirt with all proceeds benefiting the Japan Society Red Cross.
