Vivienne Tam

Growing up in NYC means having access to many fashion showrooms, namely through their sample sales. A sample sale can be extra stock, slightly damaged pieces, or actual samples from fashion shows. My mother would religiously go to the designer Vivienne Tam’s sample sales. I didn’t really get it until I was older, but deep discounts can often be found at a sample sale. and if it’s at the designer‘s showroom, sometimes you’ll see the designer themselves, or at least get a peek into their studio. this was especially fun for me when I was a fashion intern at Time Out New York in the summer of 2004, aka the summer I turned 21 and the best summer of my life. I got to help organize the fall fashion issue and work with Susan Joy, the editor. it was a great time in my life and I learned so much.

This Tam original was gifted to me by my mother. It’s a little snug, but it’s a very special piece!
