Derek Lam Spring 2010 Collection

zimbio.com -Who doesn't dream about the warm summer days filled with color and joy. If you are longing for those days, Derek Lam can sooth your soul with an incredibly warm, fun and feminine fashion collection, so don't hesitate to take a glimpse.

Derek Lam, the well known American fashion designer has managed to create a bolder fashion collection for the 2010 spring summer season. Colorful, fun, elegant and flirty are the 4 basic words that come to mind at the collection's sight.

There has never been a better time to rely on color and Derek has managed to transpose the summer feel into his collection perfectly. Because his sources of inspiration were all about warmth and open nature, Derek Lam spring 2010 collection is wrapped in a certain sunny, breezy and sexy air.


Nothing else could have stated femininity at it's best than a collection in which dresses and skirts dominate the runway. The dresses and skirts had very distinct cuts in order to underline diversity. Short cuts helped emphasize the sexy style of the collection in a very classy and elegant manner. Derek Lam wanted to create a feminine collection without leaning towards too much, outrageous or vulgar. Assorting the simplicity of the dresses with the gorgeousness of the blazers and boleros helped Derek create a very distinct and lovable fashion collection.

Flirty playsuits and shorts gave a certain casual look to the collection, a look that could easily be associated with warm summer days. The colors featured in the collection, warm pastels and colorful flower prints almost took you towards a dreamy vacation on a tropical beach. The amount of color used and the combinations of colors balanced beautifully to create a perfect beautiful looking fashion collection.

Derek Lam spring 2010 collection can be a great source of inspiration for the spring summer season as it is everything women could hope to obtain from a fashion collection.

A preview of Spring-Summer 2010 Fashion - Whats HOT Whats NOT

These days,  besides analyzing the collections of the usual stores that are in our “shopping list” while the Christmas parties are coming, we must start thinking about the next Spring-Summer 2010 season. In fact, although it seems distant, during the next days some items of that season will start to appear at the stores.

In particular, Mango will try again with many of the trends we have been seeing at the stores during the last months: Black laces, printed T-shirts with a 1980s-style, flared skirts, high fronted sandals, worn-out jeans with “strategic” holes, a lot of denim fabric, etc.

Sequins will also be in fashion for the upcoming seasons, as happened this year.

And, if navy stripes are in fashion this winter, then imagine how popular they will be when the temperature goes up. After all, this stripe type is always associated with a summer holiday on the Cote d’Azur.

Look carefully at this dress (in the picture below) because it could be the first 2010 replica. Honestly, it looks very similar to a dress included in the Balenciaga Fall-Winter 2009/2010 collection. Of course, this version will be much less expensive.

Ok, this is only a short preview. There are interesting products. However, the better items will come later… and we are sure because this preview is not including the wonderful skirts and dresses that were presented during a fashion show in Madrid, Spain (you can see the video below)
