DESIGNER: Derek Lam
COLLECTION: F/W19

Derek Lam NYFW F/W19 – Review

INSPIRED BY: The desire to deliver a lineup of masterfully-tailored separates with a utilitarian flair. Designer Derek Lam opted out of the traditional runway or presentation format in favor of hosting a series of private appointments to showcase his fall collection.
POP-CULTURE NOD: Diane Kruger looking polished at the world premiere of Yuval Adler’s spy thriller The Operative at the Berlin Film Festival.
WEAR IT TO: Pitch your burgeoning e-commerce fashion start-up to venture capital investors in Silicon Valley.
FIRST READ: Expert tailoring, high-quality materials, and plays on proportions combined to form a sharp yet feminine array of suits, jackets and dresses in earthy tones. Most of which would cater just as easily to a six-month sojourn in Europe or the hot seat in the boardroom.
BEST LOOK: A linen trapeze jacket in khaki and brown, featuring oversized high pockets and fold-over neck detail, teamed with ivory pants and a large shopper tote.
EYE-CATCHING ACCENTS: 70’s-inspired platform heels, the designer’s signature shield sunglasses, silk neckties with a geometric print, and a subtle nod to sportswear via slouchy pants with contrasting side panels.
COLOR WHEEL: Gray, mustard, white, camel, khaki, brown, green, black, ivory, red, navy, yellow.
