VIVIDUS RUNWAY
The 2nd night of Vancouver brought Seattle brand VIVIDUS RUNWAY to the catwalk. Designer Tierra Alysia shared her biography with Vancouver Fashion Week, the following is from that bio.
Tierra Alysia is a Native American and Filipino fashion designer from Seattle. She attended New York Fashion Academy and Central Saint Martins in London. From the time she was a little girl she always knew she would be a fashion designer. Her thirst for culture, discovering new things , and travel has helped her shape her personality as a designer. Her designs are timeless yet wildly modern.
VIVIDUS RUNWAY is Luxury street wear and women's ready to wear at its finest . My inspiration for the collection was a culmination of my progress in fashion as a designer. It showcases my interesting twist on luxury golf , my love for street wear and the culture , and my passion for women’s designer luxury fashion. It’s a mix of all the different sides of myself as a designer

A REVIEW
The second night of Vancouver Fashion Week ended on a high note when Tierra Alysia, sent her contemporary streetwear collection VIVIDUS RUNWAY down the catwalk.
As soon as the show was over, I knew I needed to talk to the designer. I found Tierra Alysia wearing one of her own creations, a mauve form-fitting dress ( she looked hot), surrounded by a crowd of models and fans. I was able to pepper the designer with questions. Alysia said, "Since I recently showed in New York, everything has been going crazy." Tierra told me her collection tonight was a hybrid of her two brands. The first two looks were from her label Vividus Sport, a line of women's luxurious golf coordinates, the rest, from her high-end streetwear brand called Vividus Runway. Luxury womenswear inspires this designer to create clothes the influencers want, the partyers die for, and the hippest girls love.
The Saint Martins graduate knows how to create a brand. Hypnotic thrusting music was the background to a collection that was young, hip, and of today. I overheard an influencer say, "This is what the cool kids wear." These looks are worn at the party where everyone wants to be.
VIVIDUS RUNWAY
The collection consists of 12 ensembles. The first two are designed for the trendy golf set, featuring a pleated purple lamé mini skirt. Setting the tone for the rest of the collection is an ultra-boujee silvery-blue interpretation of a football jersey adorned with glittering mesh. All I can really say is that this outfit is it.

These clothes are sexy. Crop tops, plays on the varsity jacket, and full-legged sweatpants make up some of the staples of the Vividus wardrobe. Alysia recently posted "Spring Break Forever," an appropriate theme for this collection.
A take on a sixties mod dress in robin's egg blue shows the designer's versatility. One of the highlights is a pair of sweatpants in a metallic snakeskin pattern with a tapestry jacket and a matching lace-up top. Filling out the collection is a sheer gown with a fun fur coat, showcasing the designer's commitment to fun. The "Queen Of Spring" look closes out the show with large flowers resembling pillows, exuding the joy and fun of these garments.
IN CONCLUSION
The models slayed and the clothes wowed. While I won't be going to any clubs or raves any time soon , if I was I'd want to see people wearing these clothes. Tierra Alysia produced a collection that showed vibe of today's youth. I cannot wait to see what this designer shows next.
