Derek Lam Fall-Winter 2007 . 2008 Womens 'Runway Slideshow'

For Fall-Winter 2007 . 2008, Derek Lam staples femininity and romanticism gave way to a sexy , chic and tougher Derek Lam Collection.

Inspired but the Frank Gehry building on the WestSide (NY), designer Derek Lam broke up the 80ish collection and mixed in asymmetrical pieces which echoed the Frank Gehry effect.

Lam searching for understanding in what a contemporary woman wants to reveal with her clothing, presented a strong silhouette with structured fabric. Lam says the structured fabric lends itself to revealing the body without being vulgar.

Derek Lam started things off with a pair of black leather-and-suede riding pants with a boxy, asymmetrical felt coat reports Style. com.

Dior Homme Fall-Winter 2007 . 2008 Mens Paris 'Runway Slideshow'

With designers in Milan and Paris cloning his super skinny silhouette , Dior Homme designer Hedi Slimane said goodbye to skinny, for a new silhouette. For Fall 2007. Winter 2008 Hedi Slimane sees the Dior Homme boy in dropped- crotch pants, and three-button jackets for a thin silhouette

"I changed the silhouette - tight at the top, but the sarouel pants," Slimane said backstage.

What ever you do for Fall 2007. Winter 2008 please say NO to sarouel pants.

As CATHY HORYN for NYT points out, Hedi Slimane's collection for Dior Homme moved neither forward nor backward, with Slimane still negotiating with Dior's parent company LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton for the renewal of his contract, this collection is an interesting side step, that should keep Dior Homme's new flock happy.

Hedi Slimane offered sleek and tailored coats ( there was geometric metallic stitching, and one with beads reports Style.com), paired with sweater sleeves covering wrist and hands.

Hedi Slimane refined his suit, shortening the leg and wearing them with Doc Martens styled shoes.

Refresh

If you are a regular at momist.com you have probably noticed some big changes, after a few weeks of going back and forth, I decided to empty the database and start again. I had over 26000 products listed but many of them were not categorized or tagged. I will be adding products daily with proper categories, reviews and tags, which will make it easier for you to find the luxury items you crave. I am hoping that the site picks up with influencers who will eventually be tagging, reviewing items and sharing personal images. The blog will now be focused on detailing changes, product additions & sales at momist.com. For luxury products launches visit frillr.com
