NY Fashion Week: Derek Lam Spring / Summer 2010

Derek Lam makes serious, luxe clothing that’s quiet in statement and meticulous in quality. It was nice to see him add a sense of charm and exuberance to that sophisticated mix

Derek Lam makes serious, luxe clothing that’s quiet in statement and meticulous in quality. It was nice to see him add a sense of charm and exuberance to that sophisticated mix via tiny dotted stars and florals for Spring/Summer 2010.

The shape was reminiscent of the 40′s that designers like Ossie Clark & Halston were channeling in the 70′s and as usual, there wasn’t a single exit that was not only wearable, but also downright chic in the broad sense that it will look as good on the models off duty as it will on someone like Michelle Obama.

Smart separates that were chic with zero fuss and youthful mixes of bold color & print mark this collection as a strong testament to the spirit of true American sportswear at it’s best. And if you do put him in that arena, this outing proved without a doubt that he is one of the best out there. –Naveed Hussain
