Derek Lam is a fashion designer from San Francisco, California. He is a graduate of the Parsons School of Design.
According to Wikipedia: Lam started out as an assistant for Michael Kors in the 90s. In 2005, Lam won the CFDA Perry Ellis Swarovski Award for new designers and started his own line of clothes. In addition to clothes, Derek Lam also has a line of shoes and jewelry.
He is known for his pretty, girly fabrics backed by clean, crisp silhouettes. Signature pieces include raw silk sheath dresses with plunging necklines, wide-leg trousers in various wools and dainty cashmere pea coats cinched with stiff silk belts.
He now works with Tod's to create ready-to-wear. Tod's is now also licenced out to produce his bags and shoes.
