"I ve mixed the romanticism of the Orient with sensual silhouettes to create a look that is feminine, yet hard-edged," said Vivienne Tam about her collection, which celebrated the Chinese New Year. Gold was the dominant color for a series of fun looks that included chrysanthemum-beaded dresses, velveteen coats with fur trims and metallic-embroidered shells. There were also shimmering optical prints, sequin starburst dresses and purple leather trousers that were thoroughly urban and modern. Tam s clean designs were enlivened with texture, color and shine to create an eclectic and thoroughly upbeat show.
