Derek Lam for Kohl’s

Derek Lam for Kohl’s is going to be a big hit. I think this was a very smart idea for Kohl’s to bring in a major designer into their stores because in all honesty, a lot of people tend to forget about this amazing department store. Derek Lam is following in the direction of many famous designers like Vera Wang (who also happens to have a line at Kohl’s) and all of the Target collaborations (Neiman Marcus, Missoni, Prabal Gurung, etc). I am a huge fan of Kohl’s and love all of the big names that they have in their stores, so this is just going to be another fantastic addition!

For those of you who are not familiar with designer Derek Lam, he is a graduate from the Parsons School of Design and once worked as the assistant to Michael Kors. Eventually, his hard work paid off and became the Vice President of Michael Kors’ more affordable line, Kors. After years of working with MK he officially launched his own label, Derek Lam, back in 2003. Since then he has been awarded with the CFDA Perry Ellis Swarovski Award for New Designers and has designed ready-to-wear clothes, shoes and accessories. He is a household name in the fashion industry and this diffusion line he has designed for Kohl’s is just another huge step in his career.
