Hello dear candidates to MISS SL ♛ 2020!
In the third runway challenge we are turning to the renowned New York based designer Vivienne Tam. Her early signature style blends Western looks with Asian elements featuring unique embroidery and textile. Recently Vivienne turned to the urban traveler and continues the line in her “Power of Love” collection for Spring/Summer 2020, heavily influenced by the “Flower Power” movement of the late 1960’s to early 1970’s. Vogue’s editor Laird Borrelli-Persson wrote:
Spring 2020 will be remembered as a season focused on both theatrics and sustainability. […]
[…] The joy Tam found in the unexpected mixing and matching of archival fabrics and new, of texture and colors, and pattern clashes too, was evident in the patchworked pieces she assembled for Spring. There was a new lightness here, and one that wasn’t tied to a narrative but that grew out of the materials. Dotting the i, as it were, of a snazzy blazer made of maybe four different fabrics were denim-patch pockets. The mash-up approach also lent unexpected charm to the designer’s iterations on the modest femininity of that “Little Women” look that’s come back around. […]
We are looking to have our designer challenge in the MISS SL ♛ 2020 competition to bring some more spring on our minds and stage, especially now that we are challenged to stay at home, unable to enjoy the rising temperatures. Combined with the urban travelers flower power approach it should become an uplifting and colorful challenge for everyone to enjoy. Please read the details below:
STYLING
-
-
- Please style an outfit inspired by Vivienne Tam’s Spring/Summer 2020 collection. To style an outfit by an inspiration does not mean that you copy the style, but style it yourself, based on the designer’s collection.
- As the collection suggests a wide range of colors and patterns, we are not imposing a color limitation or requirement for this challenge.
- Please choose accessories to accompany your styling. Please be careful especially about hand-attached accessories, i.e. so that handbags don’t defy gravity while posing.
