[Backstage at Kate Spade New York] [Vivienne Tam: Three ultra-important trends that started to surface for spring 2014 have now been cemented for 2015 in this look: see-through, embroidery, and white leather sandals. Tam of course puts her own signature to it, that makes the look utterly fresh yet modern.

Regardless of how you feel about the fuzzy stuff, one can't help but admit that he is a master of his craft, making the most incredibly intricate designs in hues that feel purely on-trend and elegant.

She did it so well, that I only just realized how much I missed this look!

The mix between ladylike and tomboy is a style that she's perfected over the years, and coincidentally, is extremely au courant.

It also proved as a reminder to never neglect the powers of a good tie-dye print.
