There’s nothing I like more than sitting down to look at pictures from a show and being pleasantly surprised by what I find. It’s not that I didn’t expect Derek Lam Fall 2012 to be good; I’ve counted myself among Lam’s admirers for quite a while. I just didn’t expect to find shoe after shoe after shoe that I’d like to have in my closet immediately. It was as if he designed half of them with me in mind. We all know how much I love a mirrored oxford situation.

The designs were wearable, young and brimming with personality; just looking at the shoes along would give you a very keen idea of who the Derek Lam girl is. Come fall, I imagine that there will be more Derek Lam girls than perhaps even the designer himself had imagined. Check out our gallery after the jump.
