Derek Lam’s Spring 2012 collection gave us more of his signature classic 60s flair this afternoon.

Clean, crisp lines were presented on a warm colour palette of yellow, mustard, caramel and gold with some refreshing aqua, white and pops of pink.

We saw luxurious knits, leather blazers, linen skirts, marine and peppermint kaleidoscope print dresses, blouses and pants.

Key accessories included Albertus Swanepoel hats, structured alligator ‘Charley’ satchel, leather cage appliqué ‘Bristol’ wedges, python ‘Daytona’ pumps and leather ‘Rio’ clogs.

Derek Lam is always a highlight on my Fashion Week calendar.

The designers’ Fall 2011 collection consisted of lots of layering and incredible tailoring.

The laid back collection showcased comfortable pieces and cool coats with the collar popped.

I loved the mix of menswear inspired pieces which had a lot of attitude and the beautiful flowy gowns which made up the finale.

There was something for every type of girl. Whether you are a hipster or a girlie girl.

Lam presented Pea coats which we’ve seen a lot of this fashion week. They were paired with red and black wool stretch flannel pants.

We also saw printed textured pants, trench coats, an electric blue jumpsuit, blouses with neck ties and a hot red leather jacket.

Derek Lam knows what women want and that was evident in this amazing collection.

Favourites: mustard and grey halter dress and fawn silver fox coat

Who I See Wearing This Collection: Kate Bosworth, Camilla Belle, Jennifer Aniston, Leighton Meeter, Rashida Jones, Thandie Newton, and Maria Sharapova
