Derek Lam presented his bright and breezy spring 2010 collection on day four of
New York Fashion Week. He used bold colors to stimulate the eye and kept silhouettes soft and clean, letting the bright hues take center stage. Bandanna-like neck adornments in contrasting colors gave his simple and laid-back luxe designs a feel of urban-cowboy edge. Derek Lam's designs looked light and comfortable and very feminine with draped tops, fluid lines and high hemlines. Spring variations of current trends could be seen in the vividly hued turquoise and lime green one-pieces (are they risque rompers? A new take on swimsuits?) and the sweetly sophisticated
floral garments. It seems like Lam is a little reluctant to let go of the sunny days of summer as many of his pieces had the models looking like a casually chic, retro-inspired women taking a stylish stroll on the beach or boardwalk and has me excited for the spring season! Check out the slideshow to see some favorites from Derek Lam's Spring/Summer 2010 collection at the Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week!
