This season, it’s not Callas Milano, it’s Ca-LAX Milano. The American designer Derek Lam is a Paris habitué now, but he’s been dreaming of California, where he was born and raised. “I was thinking about LA,” he explained. “I know people say there’s nobody well-dressed there, but I beg to differ. I was thinking: What does the Hollywood agent wear? What does a music producer wear?”
In these photos, the most obvious signs of the casual ease we associate with southern California are the flip-flops and the sunglasses. But obvious, as anyone who shops the brand knows, isn’t really the Callas way. Now about four years old, the brand is a resource for stylish clothes for everyday living. Agent, producer, or neither of the above, pieces like the leather bomber and cropped, full-legged leather pants would be useful additions to a wardrobe, with plenty of mix-and-match possibilities. Also noteworthy, the v-neck, a-line midi dress with a double row of buttons accenting the hem, proof that the everyday doesn’t have to be uninteresting.
