10 Crosby Derek Lam Fall 2012 Collection: On the Town
Hanne Gaby Odiele has got cabin fever, but you wouldn’t know it by her wardrobe. Derek Lam set the scene for round three of 10 Crosby, his little-sister line, in a minimalist New York apartment – although, these are clothes you’ll want to hit the streets in. Lam definitely has a way with basics; he [...]
Derek Lam Fall 2012 Collection: De-Luxe Delight
One word: luxury. It’s a word we throw around often, but few these days seem to have a better comprehension of true luxury – and all the nuances it involves – than Derek Lam. And even better, luxury we can actually wear! His collection was jam-packed with all the elements a snob could crave come [...]
How to Wear It: Cropped Sweaters
Ah, the crop top: a look that few master and too many abuse. The cropped sweater has been making a strong showing as of late (the last time we saw so many was in mohair form in the mid-nineties!), but it’s vital to take proportion play into consideration. The key is just a peek of [...]
10 Crosby by Derek Lam: Taking it to the Street
After months of eager anticipation, the launch of 10 Crosby is finally here! As you well know, I have been a diehard Derek girl for years.

Resort 2012 marks the introduction to the little-sister [...]
Derek Lam Spring 2012 Collection: All Sweetness and Light
Derek Lam‘s clothes always make feel happy, and this refreshing collection was no exception. Derek has evidently been doing some California dreamin’ while envisioning Spring 2012: a throwback to the era of glamorous suburbia, of revamped mid-century homes and images of Angie Dickinson lounging by a crystal-blue pool. Best of all, in the mix of [...]
Bow-Tie Blouses: Fit to Be Tied
Whether in floppy bows, menswear-inspired strips, or flowing panels, there are few shirts more feminine than the bow-tie blouse. Girly, sweet, busy-like, professional: it’s pure woman. Mary Tyler Moore and Rhoda lived for tie-front blouses; in “Nine to Five,” Jane Fonda was all about them. While they may have felt dated a few seasons ago, [...]
Top 5 Leather Jackets: For Roughing Up Your Formalwear
We all know the leather jacket goes with jeans and white T-shirts (all the way back to the era of James Dean) and that it gives rock star value to skinny pants of all creeds. Now the timeless leather jacket is going beyond. Layering is the way to wear it, especially over a pretty dress. [...]
Derek Lam + eBay Party: On the Lam
For the May 10th release of Derek Lam‘s collective consumer-selected line for eBay (16 dresses were shown at Fashion Week; 5 made the cut), he held a breezy block party – food provided by gourmet trucks! – at his Crosby Street boutique. We were thrilled to be included among the muse-worthy chicks: Rachel Bilson, Rose [...]

Unveiling a collection of 16 easy and wearable dresses, mostly in georgette, poplin, and denim, simultaneously at New York Fashion Week and on eBay.com, he left it up to the public to decide which five would make it to production [...]
Derek Lam Spring 2011
- Posted from my iPad This is what New Yorkers look like when they’re on vacation. Angelinos on the other hand look like they just rolled out of bed. I am an Angelino so really I’m talking about myself. But of course, New Yorkers vacation in the Hamptons and Angelinos in Mexico. The Derek Lam [...]
