Derek Lam will be bringing ‘sexy back’ to classic menswear with ladylike interpretations of the classic styling. I’m excited because that means the pieces have a greater likelihood of being timeless (& thus worth investing in).
Derek takes care to focus on the feminine psyche when designing his pieces and it comes through most of the time ~ this collection looks like he took texture, color and print a little more seriously. Don’t look for edgy or new wave; this is a love affair with the old school woman with a nod to the gents.
My favorite piece is the Tuxedo Trousers in rich, vibrant red ochre ~ albeit not in my budget right now.
Shopbop is showing Lam’s Pre-Fall 2012 here and I think you’ll really enjoy it!
