Any bargain-loving fashionista is likely already well-versed in the many designer-for-less collaborations from the likes of Target, H&M, Uniqlo, and more… and now Kohl’s DesigNation program is proving that the superstore is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to copping designer looks for less! Derek Lam is the second designer to create a capsule collection for DesigNation, following in the footsteps of Narciso Rodriguez, and he’s channeling the spirit of Rio de Janeiro with a bright, festive spring/summer collection that’s sensual and fun but still sophisticated. Urban meets jungle in this versatile mix of trousers, shirt dresses, silky blouses, maxi skirts and more, with pieces priced from $36 to $98. The collection has already been out for a month, so unfortunately, some of the hot-ticket items are already sold out… but better late than never, right? Plus, there’s still plenty more sexy summer sundresses and fancy printed pants to go around! Shop the full collection here!
Derek Lam not only designs a collection that always feels fresh, palpable and affordable, but clearly has the versatility to easily transition to your various spring and summer necessities. Whether that be en route to the beach, the office, or simply a stroll in the sunshine, he’s got you covered! Inspired by the “jungle in the city” motif of Rio, the vivid and bright colors and patterns Lam has chosen for this collection for DesigNation exclusively atKohl’s embodies the true definition of summer in the city. We are very very excited about several of the pieces, and getting to see them first-hand at the press preview proved that the prints and silhouettes looked even more amazing than anticipated in person. Shop the collection in store and online at Kohls.com on April 5th all at the amazing price points of $36-$88!
