VIVIENNE TAM Fall Winter 2018 Collection
FALL / WINTER 2018
UNITY. WHOLENESS. INFINITY.
The collection is inspired by a spiritual expedition through the
Himalayas to Tibet, revealing the infinite essence of love, and the
discovery of its vibrant topography, art, culture and indigenous
people. Exploration of this mystical landscape imbued with a
sense of timelessness, finds expression in a compelling collection
that imagines the urban traveler’s journey over the mountainous
terrain in pilgrimage. The collection, rendered in varying hues of burnt orange,
gradations of earthy khaki, red, burgundy, brown, blue, deep
turquoise and Tara green, which a touch of black and white, is
iterated in wool, silk, corduroy, techno-fabric, tulle mesh and lace
as well hi-tech conductive material and knits, for warmth and
comfort. The mélange of contrasting patterns and
multiple plaids are accented by prints and signature colorful,
hand-crafted embroideries depicting universal Mandalas,
and the muse, Green Tara.
Silhouettes are loose and multi-layered, in the nomadic tradition,
and denote the yin and yang. Belted or cinched plaid jackets with
puff sleeves and blouson tops are paired with long, gathered or
pleated skirts that replicate the Mandala effect, and puffy quilted
parkas, trench coats and oversized, boxy plaid overcoats, are
omnipresent. Hooded, shearling-lined jackets and coats sometimes
are trimmed with sheared Mongolian hair and are paired with ultra-
suede paneled and flared skirts. Striped and fringed sweaters are
also a highlight of the collection.
Complementing the looks are hand-made, beaded earrings and
colorful, tasseled adjustable belts and bags.
