Vivienne Tam Fall 2011 RTW

I was lucky enough (Mille Grazie to Benjamin  :) ) to attend the Vivienne Tam show on Sunday and witness these gorgeous looks. The show was so beautiful with a very Zen ambiance, models walking to the beat of a techno trance with a bird chirping in back, and a packed house.
Even in the fourth row, I was able to see the smooth movement of the garments and how they all had the same character: bold, ladylike in front/ Hun soldier in the back.  Not joking! The back had the most beautiful Chinese looking designs.I couldnt decide which side I liked more.

Some of the runway looks:

This was the opening look. Loved this jacket, and even for the heavy looking tweed, it was quite soft in reality. That collar is pretty attractive to me, too.

This dress was one that showcased what much of the dresses had on the back. This old Chinese military look was on everything.

Tam had a lot of Fall jackets that I absolutely loved, since all you really wear in Fall are dresses or jackets or them together (drackets?)  The shoulders are gorgeous without being too eccentric.

A little hippie-chic number, but look closely and you'll see the Asian influence.

Loved that this dress almost looked like lace. So elegant, but for an older audience (sorry.)

I think its the right summer dress, the details are relxed enough for the Hamptons and can go from day to night faster than you can say gimme a Mojito, please.

The last few looks were pretty black and normal with a bunch of intricate details. still very girly, but strong too.

This was my favorite dress of the collection, just becuase it was so simple but if you imagine it accessorized and with a fur throw on top, you're golden. And those shoulders!
