{ derek lam } for ebay



minimalism for the masses// i took the above photos at the derek lam x ebay presentation during fashion week in february; fashion fans later voted to decide which 5 pieces would go into production. i have been interested to see how this concept would perform ~ and although the items aren't technically available until may 10th, the collection is currently available for pre-order, and already sold out in nearly every size.

it's intriguing to watch as ebay (one of my very favorite hunting grounds for the vintage and/or obscure) dips its toes into this world of custom content and collections. i look forward to seeing what's next up their sleeves!!

I quite like the boho maxi dress, but am surprised to see it is made of polyester!

it is great to see ebay's, and designers', concepts of marketing and technology evolution can coincide and indeed bolster one another.

i hope there are more of these collaborations to come!

I like the idea, and the dresses are minimal, yet still arty in the way they are cut.

However, I think he RUINED this collection by pairing the cute frocks with FLATFORMS. I look at the dresses and think, wow, chic, cute! Then I look down and I think... DUCK FEET.

And I don't want to keep looking anymore.

Kind of antithetical, in my book.

excellent choice, this dress is perfect, specially if you want to attract some men, in my case a women with a dress like this, already has 75% of my attention.

One thing that I don't like about the kind of models that most of them are pretty skinny.
