“There are no new steps, only new combinations.” With that quote from George Balanchine, so began Derek Lam’s journey for fall. The all-American sportswear had a stellar showing in the form of some truly wearable–and covetable–pieces. Wool coats that beautifully surrounded the body were among the standouts, as were flannel trousers that he has become known for. This collection set Derek on a new path as it was probably the cleanest, most pure lineup he’s shown in many seasons. Nothing complicated here; just plenty of pretty reds, baby blues and grays that flatter all body types and skin tones. These clothes aren’t about setting new trends; rather, they’re about satisfying an affluent and highly loyal clientele that cling to his designs.
