on the lam: looking for a house in l.a.
May 22, 2008 12:13 pm

Derek Lam has called New York City home for the better part of two decades, but the designer (who originally hails from San Francisco) hasn’t forgotten his West Coast roots. Case in point: yesterday’s sunglasses preview at the Chateau Marmont. “I love it here. I’m one of those people you always see walking aimlessly up and down Sunset Boulevard,” he said. In fact, Lam likes L.A. life so much so that he plans to buy a house in the Hollywood Hills early next year. All the better for acquainting himself with the pack of California-based stylists and editors, many of whom experienced an indecisive moment at Wednesday morning’s event while attempting to choose a style from the Spring/Summer collection. “Which ones are you wearing?” one asked Lam. But alas, the designer’s silver aviator frames are not available—they’re a prototype.
