Derek Lam Fall/Winter 2014 | New York Fashion Week

Derek Lam Fall 2014–Clean and elegant sportswear is the staple of Derek Lam, and the American designer was not short on either aspect for his fall-winter 2014 collection shown during New York Fashion Week. This season, Lam was inspired by “nomadic silhouettes and rustic fabrications” as his show notes indicate. The silhouette is forgiving with mid-length skirts sometimes flared at the bottom layered under boxy coats in a neutral palette teamed with lavender and periwinkle accents. Lam ends on a slinky note featuring a trio of dresses made of satin with a strip-like technique connected by gold beading.
