Gingham Print

The SS14 collection of Mr. Derek Lam in the Big Apple was many things at time- gingham prints that reminded picnic towels; Parisian chic in the middle of New York; African embroidery and forms in a much more minimalistic way. I don’t know what was the connection of all these styles, but I pretty much liked this collection, and mostly the creme coloured dress with a attached scarf and shoulders cuts… And I found many similarities to Celine’s earlier collection, like the buckle belts, shouldered jackets and the modern dresses. Oh, and the Gingham prints on turbans and dresses are also nothing new (yes, Prada?) but it looked still cool. Happy to see Derek back in full action (last seasons were really boooring…)!
