Derek Lam is a leading New York fashion designer known for his modern approach of blending minimal designs with feminine sensuality. The label's acclaimed runway collections are defined by Lam's distinctive take on luxury, anchored in the tradition of classic American sportswear.

Derek Lam International, LLC was founded in New York by Derek Lam and partner Jan-Hendrik Schlottmann in 2003. Lam began his fashion career in 1990 after graduating from Parsons School of Design. He spent twelve years at the highest levels of American fashion as a designer at Michael Kors before starting his own label. In 2006 the collection expanded to include handbags, followed by shoes and eyewear in 2007. In 2011, capitalizing on the strength of the main collection while adding a downtown element, the company launched the more accessible Derek Lam 10 Crosby line which quickly became a success in the contemporary market.

Marked by a calculated simplicity and highly perfected detailing, Lam's point-of-view is informed by contemporary culture, in dialog with art, architecture and product design. "I am interested in what it means to live a contemporary life," says Lam. "I always consider what will work for women at this moment, and to me this moment is about luxury without formality. Even at their most feminine, my clothes are not precious or staid."
