Derek Lam is the latest designer to leave his company. After six years of service, Lam has left his post as creative director of Tod’s.
The news seems to have come out of the blue, and neither Tod’s nor Derek Lam have shed any light on it. The Italian fashion house hasn’t offered any reason for the split, and Lam is staying tight-lipped on the whole affair. It’s enough to make you wonder whether there’s a juicy story behind the headlines!
Derek Lam’s latest move isn’t anticipated to affect his own signature fashion line, or his recently launched 10 Crosby range. The question has to be asked though; could this development indicate that Derek Lam will assume that coveted creative director position at Christian Dior? While the company seems to revel in maintaining mystery about its next move, it’s hard to avoid speculation whenever a big name designer flies his fashion coop!
And who will fill Derek Lam’s stylish shoes at Tod’s? Perhaps we’ll see a game of fashion musical chairs, with Raf Simmons, Stefano Pilati, or another newly freely agent stepping in. With so many acclaimed designers currently without fashion houses, we are waiting anxiously to see where they all land.
