Day Four Recap (Sept. 12): Derek Lam





Derek Lam's Spring/Summer 2011 collection at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week consisted of mini-dresses, gowns, denim outfits, jackets, coats, and blazers. Taking denim to another level, showcasing denim mini-dresses, blazers, skirts, and pants - Derek Lam makes it clear that Spring/Summer is not all just about metallics and shinny glitz pieces. One of the trends Derek Lam incorporated into this collection however, are translucent pieces - as we can see in his colorful sequenced patterned gowns, as well as in some of the skirts. The mini-dresses were rather interesting though, I really enjoyed the natural colored mini-dress which seemed to look like it had a jacket over it, but was actually part of the dress's design. There were some split mini-dresses, coat mini-dresses, and low V-cut mini-dresses - some which had colorful patterns, and others which were draped. I did see silk and linen tops, some were collared and some were low V-cut.  The overall look for this collection is so sophisticated and fashion forward, here are four of my favorite pieces from Derek Lam's Spring/Summer 2011 collection, above and below.
