New York Fashion Week: Derek Lam – F/W 2009

Derek Lam’s show was held yesterday at 635 West 42nd Street in New York, and like his last collection, Derek has earned my vote, yet again. The result was one of Lam’s strongest and most focused collections to date — terrifically luxe, well-polished all-American sportswear. There were plenty of sumptuous furs, too, which further upped the coziness vibe, throughout this knockout collection. Need more evidence of the latter? — Check out the gold-printed sequin cardis and satin tuxedo jackets as well as his trademark jersey goddess gowns, which got a sexy tweak with tighter, more body-conscious draping details.
