Retro styles and textures highlight Vivienne Tam

Vivienne Tam's vision for Fall 2011 is a textural cornucopia that contains vintage hints of 1920's flapper styles, and swinging 1960's silhouettes, or so it would seem from her Fall 2011 collection which showed at Lincoln Center earlier today.

Some of our favorite elements included the  complex laser cutting on dresses, skirts and tops, and the multi-dimensional fringe pieces that accented many of the dresses.

I like these textures, and the 20s silhouettes are different. Fun!
