Leave it to Derek Lam to make earthy hues of olive, mustard, toffee and bordeaux the new must-have spring palette. While not overtly spring-like, the designer’s runway collection — replete with tailored leather separates and embellished boxy silhouettes — scored major points with his audience. The richness found in embroidered dresses and embellished pencil skirts was carried down to the footwear as well, which featured cone-heel booties with a slingback closure for an opened-up appeal. Among the standout shoes, the most eye-catching was this pointy-toe bootie in loden green with croc-embossed leather for an extra luxe feel.
