Derek Lam Interview on Swimwear

by Chi Diem Chau 0

Yesterday, we checked out the Derek Lam for Kohl's collection, and while we sadly can't share any pictures with you at the moment (photos are embargoed), believe us when we say the line inspired by Rio — one of Lam's favorite vacation destinations — is pretty darn amazing. The standout pieces? The swimwear; no easy feat considering this was Lam's first time ever designing swimwear. So does that mean a swimwear line is in the works for his namesake collection? "There's a lot of technical know-how, so I was able to get an education on that," said Lam. "So this is going to be a starting point, but I would love to." We hope that means yes.
