Due to Tao Top's special connection with new Chinese fashion designer, Jill Chou, she met with him and after understanding him, Jill Chou was willing to design a one-and-only outfit for Tao as a birthday present. The top was inspired by Tao's Chinese Zodiac Sign - the Chicken. It is the combination of an abstract painting of a chicken and a colour Tao likes, black. For the pants, they are cotton short pants and were made thinking about Tao wearing it comfortably during summer. The shocking thing is, the collection this outfit was apart won the best prize on VOGUE's judging. However, this outfit is still made for our one-and-only Tao and there's only one of them in the world as of now. They have also made a iPhone 5S phone case with the same patterns from the shirt,
And that's about it. If I've missed any, please message me off anon about it, thank you so much ; ^ ;! ♡ And please do not feel like a 'bad' fan just because you didn't buy anything for Tao for his birthday or you didn't participate in any birthday events! The reason I wanted to bring this over to tao-hua was because I felt really happy seeing all these support for Tao and how Tao inspires HLs to help others and become a better self and I hope it makes y'all feel like it too ; ^ ;! Isn't it amazing how our precious boy is influencing part of the world little by little ♡
