FabSugar Interview With Derek Lam 2010-10-28 15:30:05

Exciting news! We caught up with designer — and San Francisco native — Derek Lam, when he made a quick stop at Barneys SF for his Spring '11 trunk show. First we talked inspiration, then Derek revealed his love of "the tomboy", and how "the iconography of Clint Eastwood and the West" played into designing his Fall line. Next up, the designer revealed he's getting excited about an upcoming project for his Fall '11 collection, a presentation of lower-priced looks to be sold exclusively on eBay. Look out for that in Spring/Summer 2011. And, since we always love a cool color mash-up here at Fab, we asked Derek for his take on what color combos are fresh, fun, and unexpected.
