10 Crosby Derek Lam Fall 2012 Ready-to-Wear Collection on Style.com: Runway Review

10 Crosby Derek Lam

NEW YORK, February 7, 2012

By Brittany Adams

What would Hanne Gaby Odiele do if she were Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone? Derek Lam envisioned his favorite model cavorting around her apartment as if it were a snow day for his latest 10 Crosby lookbook. FIttingly, the new Fall collection is full of cozy Shetland peplum sweaters, long T-shirt dresses in an amplified buffalo plaid print, and vintage-looking fox fur pieces ideal for quickly tossing over a dress before darting out the door to catch a cab. (There's also a faux fur patchworked sweater that looks so authentic even pelt purists will be jazzed about it.)

Lam is a smart businessman, particularly when it comes to his more reasonably priced line, and he's paid attention to what his savvy customer is and isn't buying. For one, she's still crazy about silk pajama sets, which were updated this time around in a playful yet sophisticated kittens print. He also carried over the tomcat motif to fluid palazzo pants with polka dots that turned out to be balls of yarn when viewed up close. Cute. Another recurring crowd pleaser is the tuxedo-stripe trouser, shown here in Prince of Wales check with a seventies flare leg. Lam might've had Home Alone in mind, but his customers will want to show off these casual-cool clothes in public.
