Airs & Graces

Vivienne's new collection expresses the duality of women. Feminine romance and the power of androgyny. "That woman… is a success who loves life, and lives it to its fullest; who has discovered and shared the strengths and talents that are uniquely her own, who puts her best into each task and leaves each situation better than she found it; who seeks and finds that which is beautiful in people and all things; who's heart is full of love and warm with compassion; who has found the joy of living and peace within herself."

Spread her wings

Based in New York City, Vivienne grew up in London and subsequently opted to 'spread her wings' to the United States. She has been honored with numerous awards, including the much coveted North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA) (five times), the most recent being "Masters," and the prestigious IBS 'Editors' Choice Awards (three times).
