Vivienne Tam’s blaze of indigenous culture
Print Edition
CHINESE-BORN New York designer Vivienne Tam sent a glorious fall/winter 2016 collection down the runway on a snowy night, influenced by China’s western border, central Asia and the Caucasus.
As snow and ice coated the streets of Manhattan, Tam treated the fashion set to a blaze of pattern and rich colors evoking indigenous cultures from places like Xinjiang.
The collection showcased ancient and modern ikat patterns reminiscent of carpets and tapestries, and she made great use of patchwork, particularly in suede skirts, jackets, coats and dresses.
Hers is a look that is versatile and cross-culture, featuring baggy gaucho pants, oversized trousers, mesh and knits that could be worn by women desiring to cover modestly.
Born in China, Tam moved to Hong Kong when she was three years old.
Fashion Week organizers have summed up her brand as China Chic.
