tedoré : Derek Lam

Exposed belly was a part of the S/S 2013 season and this is continuing in the Resort 2014 collections too. But there is a but! Cropped tops with a belly out (showing your skin) is, to be sincere and tasteful, suitable for young women...the one in good shape (if it´s trendy and you do not have that type of body, it doesn´t mean that you must wear it, but find a perfect match for your body type in the whole clothing range). Well, Resort 2014 is giving a variation of the cropped top as part of layering, so now suitable also for older ladies (but I cannot repeat the same thing with the body shape again...as I did in the line before? And we are not into discrimination, but different clothes on different types...just be yourself and build your own style with a good sense of auto-criticism).

Derek Lam’s heading to the Wild Wild West. His muse, however, was Julie Christie in the Seventies film “McCabe & Mrs. Miller,” who played a British expat in the Robert Altman Western. In other words: cowgirl style done ultrapolished and with a decidedly European glaze. Lam’s only overt thematic nods, in fact, came in the form of fringe on an ethereal crepe de chine blouse cut in strips, and the occasional Navajo print or embroidery. Things started off clean and refined with a spare-yet-sharp moleskin coat with black leather sleeves before delving into a strong sportswear story, with cable-knit sweaters, georgette blouses, pleated kilts and the perfect boot-cut silk gazar trouser. The structured outerwear proved a high point. Here, leather inserts added a cool edge while precise lines displayed architectural restraint.
