Derek Lam F/W 2018 – Review
INSPIRED BY: 1940’s horse racing movie National Velvet and the glamour of its star, Elizabeth Taylor. Think all things equestrianism.
POP-CULTURE NOD: Meghan Markle cheering on courtside in support of beau Prince Harry at the Audi Polo Challenge in Ascot.
WEAR IT TO: Crack the whip on your first horse-riding lesson at the Silver Spur Riding School at Sunset Ranch in Carmel Valley.
FIRST READ: Quilted satin coats, silk shirts and jockey-inspired trousers gave the collection a luxury wilderness lodge vibe, while relaxed suits and strappless dresses were more suited to time spent away from the dude ranch in the big smoke.
BEST LOOK: A tan pencil skirt featuring a equine appliqué, teamed with a grey singlet and styled with a woolen poncho with a horse print.
EYE-CATCHING ACCENTS:Â English-inspired traditional plaids and quilted looks that played to the show’s horsey theme, with a focus on clean lines and easy silhouettes throughout.
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE:Â “The last time I came to an event here there were three drunk men in their underwear in the pool. This is a lot classier.”
COLOR WHEEL:Â Teal, emerald, black, tan, black, mustard, camel, blue, green.
