10 Crosby

02 . 16 . 12

I’m still in the middle of editing my photos from fashion week and headed to a meeting with my book designers.  Until I get some some new posts up, I’m leaving you with this look at Derek Lam’s fall fashions for his line 10 Crosby. The look book was shot in an apartment and is […]

The best part of going backstage before the Fall 2012 Derek Lam fashion show is that you can see the clothes and accessories up close.  The models walk so fast during the runway shows that it’s easy to miss the shoes and bag not to mention the jewelry.  I also love to see the fabrics […]

Thanks to my friends at Estée Lauder, I was invited to cover the backstage beauty before the Derek Lam show again this season. It’s always amazing to see how many hours of work go into a 10 minute runway show.   Estée Lauder and Creative Makeup Director Tom Pecheux creates the Face Chart that his team will recreate […]

Derek Lam Spring 2012

09 . 19 . 11

”When I’m doing a little California dreamin’, I am in a beautifully appointed mid-century home, like the Kaufmann House in Palm Springs, by Richard Neutra.  The clean minimal interior, the wide open desert landscape, the informality of living in nature yet also sheltered in rational and soul warming architecture; that is my mind wandering to […]

Since I mentioned that Derek Lam was inspired by Richard Neutra’s 1946 Kaufmann House in Palm Springs, I thought it might be nice to post some photos.  You can read the full story about the house in a post that I wrote in 2008 here. Photographer Slim Aarons and Julius Shulman were also enamored by […]

I love this photo of fashion designer Derek Lam that I took backstage before his Spring 2011 show.  He was posing for photos for another team and I was behind them hoping to get a nice shot when all of the sudden he turned and smiled at me.  It really sums up his lovely personality […]

I was beyond excited to be invited backstage at the Derek Lam Spring 2012 show again by Estee Lauder.  It is such a treat to watch makeup artist Tom Pecheux for Estée Lauder and his team work their magic on the models.  That’s in addition to Jin Soon Choi for Estée Lauder and her team […]

Collaborations are all the rage these days and none have been more hotly anticipated than Derek Lam for eBay.  I had the pleasure of attending a little soiree to celebrate this match made in fashion heaven this past week.  Derek and eBay turned Crosby Street into a summer block party that parked delicious food trucks […]

My View at Derek Lam

02 . 17 . 11

Only fashion could get me up and out of the house at 8:00am on a chilly Sunday morning.  Estee Lauder was kind enough to invite me backstage at the Derek Lam show and I’m excited to share my behind the scenes experience with you.  It’s amazing how much work goes into a ten minute runway […]

Lauren and Lam

02 . 02 . 11

I came across this old photo of Lauren Bacall crossing a New York street recently.  As soon as I saw it, I was immediately reminded of the Derek Lam Spring 2011 collection.  If Lauren Bacall was a young woman today, I could easily see her wearing his whole line right down to the shoes.  This is […]

Derek Lam at Home

09 . 14 . 10

While we’re discussing Derek Lam, I figured I might as well repost his fabulous downtown loft.  As I’ve mentioned a million times before, I love to see where fashion designers live.  Their creativity always carries over to their interiors and they are usually filled with interesting objects.  It’s funny that Derek’s apartment doesn’t have any […]

We can’t all have a make up artist on call everyday (ahem, Rachel Zoe) but we can still learn from their expertise.  Estée Lauder Creative Makeup Director Tom Pecheux and his team of makeup artists created the stunning look above on 30 models at the Derek Lam fashion show and included a chart.     “Working with Derek Lam […]

I’m happy to see that the 1970’s are still inspiring designers for Spring 2011 including Derek Lam.  His show was clean and beautiful in the best possible sense. I loved the longer hemlines and classic American sportswear look.  His fabulous white dresses would look amazing paired with a chunky necklace or big cuff bracelets.  I […]

I will be out at meetings and appointments the entire day so I am leaving you with photos from fashion designer Derek Lam‘s chic Soho loft recently published in Bazaar. It’s close to his soon to open new boutique on Crosby Street which I can’t wait to check out. I’ve always had an affinity for […]

Interiors

02 . 18 . 09

My favorite part of fashion week is finding out the inspiration behind each designer’s collection. This year, Derek Lam said his colors and textures were inspired by interiors and most specifically, those of Yves Saint Laurent, while the mood was inspired by the 1958 film Ascenseur pour l’échafaud by Louis Malle. C’est Magnifique! Mood board […]
