DEREK LAM’S GOT GAME The fashion designer teams up with Athleta for a new line that works hard, plays hard. BY SARA GAYNES LEVY When Derek Lam does workout clothes, he likes to flex his creative muscles. “I really enjoyed working with fabrics that you might not necessarily think of as athletic fabrics,” he says of his new collab, Derek Lam 10C Athleta. The 37-piece line, which launches next month, includes washable (yes!) leather shorts and jogging pants, silky color-block tanks and a slick two-in-one hooded jacket with a detachable sweatshirt. “Everything can be used in multiple workouts—from yoga to running— and then through your day,” says Athleta president Nancy Green. Or, as Lam notes, “It’s about fashion, but it also works for your life.”
3 THINGS THAT INSPIRE HIM SPIN CLASS “I just got into SoulCycle. After class, you want to look pulled together, even if it’s just four blocks away!” ELECTRO BEATS “Chromeo is always in my headphones: It’s perfect city music.” TECH FABRICS “They’re so much fun to work with. I want to integrate some of these innovations into my runway line.”
