Your fashion journey begins with an exclusive meet and greet with New York luxury designer and San Francisco native Derek Lam. Lam has won numerous fashion awards, most recently the Achievement in Fashion Award by FGI, and has been profiled in WWD, Vogue, and the New York Times. His clothing and accessories are sold exclusively at Barneys New York, Neiman Marcus, and Saks Fifth Avenue. He has outfitted Michelle Obama, Katie Holmes, Jessica Alba, and many other celebrities. Lam's vision for his label is to create clothes that are both luxurious and wearable, with a feminine but unfussy beauty about them. On Friday, April 5, 2013, Nueva parent and former Saks Fifth Avenue buyer Michelle Hirschman will escort you and up to three friends to Neiman Marcus in Palo Alto where you will meet Derek, view his current spring line, and preview his fall collection. After this exciting meeting, youll enjoy wine and lunch in the Neiman Marcus Cafe. The following week, on a mutually agreed upon date, continue the fun with a personal shopping day with Michelle and Tracy Lee (Personal Stylist and Derek's sister) and a Neiman Marcus stylist! Enjoy complimentary cookies and lattes while you and your friends shop and browse items. Also included in this fabulous package is a gorgeous leather convertible clutch by Derek from his Spring 2013 line, valued at $1,100, and a $250 Neiman Marcus gift card.
