On the Runway at the Vivienne Tam Show: Walking Comfortable

At the Vivienne Tam Spring/Summer 2015 Show in NYC yesterday, it looked like comfortable Birkentstock-like sandals are here to stay for a bit.  Models wore the shoes paired with shorts,  skirts, and long dresses.  Since the sandal was brought back to the mainstream by the one and only Marc Jacobs, brands from Zara to Givenchy have embraced the look, and produced their own versions of it.   Who am I to argue with wearing comfortable sandals with sheer socks?   Would wear this look?

Vivienne Tam Fall 2014 Collection

This season, Vivienne Tam's Fall 2014 collection was inspired by a well-kept memory of the hidden treasures of DunHuang, the gateway to the West, at the heart of the Silk Road and pays homage to one the most revered cultural heritage sites and art shrines in the world.  It celebrates the beauty of the cave murals and underscores the imperative of historic preservation. 

The exquisite, ancient frescoes are captured in the collection through digital prints and the artwork developed for them transcend time to be relevant today.   


Earth tones of sepia, amethyst, carnelian, lapis lazuli, oxidized and jade green, sometimes interlaced with metallic gold and bronze,
