Who thought monsters could walk the ramp, but Vivienne Tam just made the impossible possible with her Spring/Summer 2018 collection. She has collaborated with film director Raman Hui to create fantasy designs for her SS18 collection, inspired by his blockbuster animation series Monster Hunt.

After debuting the collection in the Spring 2018 New York Fashion Week, Vivienne recently held an exclusive preview at her boutique in Hong Kong. The fashion parade coincided with the launch of Monster Hunt 2 in Hong Kong. The biggest draw was Vivienne’s ‘muse’, the adorable monster Wuba, who walked the ramp in a super-cute custom-made Vivienne Tam outfit.

Speaking to the press, Vivienne said, “I am so excited, as there are many parallels here…Raman Hui and I are compatriots originally from HK, and made our careers in the US. He incorporates Eastern elements into Western art forms, bringing together the best of the East and West, as I do in my designs.”

The collection embarks on an adventurous journey, from fantasy to urban chic. The film’s lush green landscape finds expression though soft fabrics in green, blue, mauve and earthy tones. The lovable monster Wuba and other mystical creatures are depicted through mesh overlays and hand-stitched embroideries.
