Young Hollywood Checks Out Vivienne Tam’s Spring/Summer 2016 Collection at New York Fashion Week

Vivienne Tam SS16 Women's Show

Vivienne Tam presented her Spring / Summer 2016 collection on September 14, 2015 at 7:00pm in The Arc at Moynihan Station during New York Fashion Week.

The collection was inspired by the increasingly androgynous nature of fashion in the 20’s and today’s “street” culture. It reflects a contemporary contextualization of art deco design elements, characterized by linear forms, dropped waists, stripes, and angularities translated into relaxed shapes that are reminiscent of the teen surfer/skater culture of the 70’s and nods to modern comfort and ease.

The collection finds expression in relaxed silhouettes, ribbed knits, crisp cottons, synthesized crepes and techno-mesh layered with hand-crafted embroideries and laser-cut appliqués, combining masculine shapes with feminine embellishments. Graphic black and white, red, sea green, and accents of fluorescent pink and mint green add a modern twist.

A mainstay of the collection are bomber jackets made of power mesh with striped ribbing at the collar, wrists and waist, as well as unisex jumpsuits, oversized shirts featuring appliqués and striped, ribbed knits. Floral and dragon motifs that are interpreted in the art deco style on techno-mesh and menswear striped shirting and dresses are softened with ruffled sleeves and hems. An unconventional rendering of eyelets with Mahjong (Chinese leisure activity that was all the rage in America during the 20’s) tiles on long dresses, round out the collection.

Celebrity guests to check out the new line included Ally Brooke (Musician, Fifth Harmony), Sonia Nassery Cole (Oscar nominated The Black Tulip) Elle Dee (DJ/Model), Thatiana Diaz (Miss New York 2014), Pierson Fode (Actor), Olivia Jordan (Miss USA 2015), Niki Koss (Actress, Girl on the Edge), Ai Li (Actress, The Tenth Floor), Floriana Lima (Actress, The Mob Doctor), Natalie Alyn Lind (Actress, Gotham, The Goldbergs), Vanessa Marano (Actress, Switched at Birth), Mozhan Marno (Actress, House of Cards, The Blacklist), Mercedes Mason (Actress, Fear the Walking Dead), Ryan Newman (Actress), Teyonah Parris (Actress, Survivor’s Remorse, Mad Men), Shu Pei Qin (Supermodel), Vanessa Ray (Actress, Pretty Little Liars, Blue Bloods), Angela Simmons (TV Personality), Serinda Swan (Actress, Graceland), Hairong Tian (Actress, Silent Tears), Paulina Vega (Miss Universe 2014), Carlson Young (Actress, Scream (MTV)), Tashiana Washington (Actress/Singer, Gimme Shelter) and more.
