Designer Vivienne Tam established her namesake label in New York City in 1994. The brand gained significant cultural recognition with the 1995 "Mao" collection, which utilized pop-art imagery of the Chinese leader. This work, along with the 1997 "Buddha" collection, solidified the brand's role in fashion history as an early practitioner of cross-cultural dialogue. Pieces from these collections are held in permanent archives at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
