New York City (NY), USA – New York Fashion Week familiar  Vivienne Tam decides to do a homage to the sizzling nightlife of Hong Kong. This season we find her soul deeply inspired by the city’s unbridled energy, its enthusiasm towards excitement and its overwhelming and seemingly endless quantities of neon lights that make it one of the busiest scenes in the world.

In bringing the concepts behind her Fall Winter 2017/18 collection into the physical world, Vivienne Tam calls on rich textures and materials such as silk organza, knits, silk jacquards, sequins, liquid jerseys and wool tweeds. She places them on a brightly colorful backdrop of neon, fuchsias, greens, purples, and midnight blues. She also mixes them effortlessly with plaids and stripes as she weaves together her oversized silhouettes, cropped trousers and long skirts.

The tight volumes and slimming proportions are found mixed among the loose fitting skirts, sleek pants in pleather and other pieces that have been deconstructed while leaving others to enjoy their fluidity. Vivienne Tam has been careful to also contrast the oversized blazers with cropped trousers, dresses and asymmetrically cut skirts with angular edges. With the inclusion of appliqués, leggings, gathered sleeves and puffed jackets in metallic materials, the collection is resolutely exciting and feminine !
