New York Fashion Week has kicked off and designer Derek Lam has chosen to celebrate by staying at home with his 10 Crosby Derek Lam Fall 2012 collection. The talented designer opted for a great look book to showcase his fall collection, and the results are simple and stunning.
Featuring one of Lam's favorite models, Hanne Gaby Odiele, the look book showcases the blond beauty hanging out at home, as if stuck inside on a rainy day, showing off the designer's fall line. From comfy sweaters with a cute peplum shape, to simple t-shirt dresses and a couple of fur toppers (both real and faux), the 10 Crosby Derek Lam Fall 2012 collection is perfectly casual, yet chic.
