Vivienne Tam loves her butterflies. Her new HP laptop features prints of beautiful butterflies skimming the lid. Her entire Spring 2010 was an ode to winged magic, with silk jersey blouses and chiffon dresses printed with shimmering wings.
In the program, there was a poem by Martha Huang, who seems to have been an inspiration to Vivienne’s party:
In a famous Chinese opera two young lovers unrequited in life are
reincarnated as butterflies, finally together.
The lovely Jessica Stroup attended Vivienne’s show, and we managed to snag a few quotes from her!
“I love Vivienne because her clothes are always so colorful, and they manage to fit a woman’s body perfectly,” she says.
Estelle looked awesome and gave me a wink and a peace sign. Love her!
The hairstyle for the show was super beachy and relaxed and texturized, with loose waves throughout. They complemented the extremely defined black lined eye.
The clothes often had suede vests over them, and I wasn’t too crazy about that look, but some of the items, including the chiffon dancing butterfly dress with black suede collar; a violet butterfly print chiffon gown; and the violet organza chrysallis print top had me at hello.
The digital laptop clutch also was crazy! The clutch was just like a laptop with her new design…trust Vivienne to turn a basic accessory into a collector’s item and work of art.
In all the collection was pure poetry and all the pieces were so beautifully wearable. Regardless of the functionality of the wardrobe, the runway show was actually really interesting, with the background being a supersized television cast of what was happening on the runway.
Spring 2010 is all about the winged magic.
