Derek Lam Handbags
American fashion designer Derek Lam was born into a Chinese
American home in San Francisco, California. As a part of a large
family of seamstresses and tailors, Lam acquired a love for great
fashion at a very early age. Derek Lam decided to attend a fashion
school of the arts, Parsons School of Design, and graduated in
1990.
Derek went on to work in a retail store called Michael Kors. After
several years, Lam decided to move to Hong Kong to work for a
larger retail brand. In 2003, Lam launched his own clothing line
which was featured at New York Fashion Week in fall 2003. It is
there that Derk Lam won Perry Ellis' new designer award, and from
there, his clothing line sky-rocketed.
One of Derek Lam's most popular signature pieces is a raw silk
sheath dress with the plunging neckline. Lam also set the trend for
wide-leg trouser pants, which are still popular in today's fashion
industry. The label touches on a femininity that is mature and
classy with a sexy twist with handbags, sunglasses, shoes and, of
course, fabulous clothing.
