Vivienne Tam Celebrates Earth Day 2013
Vivienne Tam's SoHo store created some buzz Monday night to celebrate Earth Day 2013. Inspired by her Spring 2013 runway collection, the event draws on nature's 5 elements to embolden the spirit and enhance one's energy, creating a balanced harmony.
Shoppers enjoyed a 30% discount on all merchandise in store. Cut-out dresses, tailored blazers, and a tomato red dress straight from the runway proved to be favorites among shoppers. Vivienne Tam employees donned nature inspired pieces from Vivienne's Spring 2013 collection.
Leading pressed juiced company, Organic Avenue, supplied organic refreshments throughout the evening. Shoppers enjoyed sampling a variety of fun flavors. Samplers included Splendid Sweet Green Juice, Berry Blast Protein Smoothie, Matcha Chia Juice, and Royal Red Juice. What would you choose? A popular choice was the Splendid Sweet Green Juice with pear, cucumber, kale, collared green, swiss chard, mint, lemon, and orange. Yum!
Juice Beauty, a cosmetic company made with the purest organic skincare and beauty products, offered complimentary makeup touch-ups by makeup artist and specialist, Annalise. All beauty products are authentically organic with an antioxidant-rich juice base. Makeup that feeds your skin! Many shoppers opted for a natural look with Perfecting Foundation and Irresistible Glow Facial Highlighter (created by Juice Beauty's ambassador Alicia Silverstone) while others tried a daring smoky eye with the Illuminating Eye Color.
Lastly, shoppers participated in several raffle give-aways by dropping their business cards in a raffle bowl on their way out. The grand prize included a limited edition HP Mini Laptop designed exclusively with Vivienne's 'Butterfly Lovers' print and a pair of limited edition Monster earbuds designed by Vivienne Tam. Juice Beauty provided a generous gift basket worth almost $400 of organic skincare and beauty products while Organic Avenue's raffle included a gift certificate for pressed juices and smoothies along with a free consultation for healthy living. Other prizes by Vivienne Tam included a mini sequin Opera Girl clutch and two Panda t-shirts.
As Heather Harlan, our Earth Day social media contest winner, said, "let's all take a moment out of our busy lives to reflect on the environment and how it is effected by the choices we make. In that way we are all winners." Well said Heather.
