This is Derek Lam's Fall 2010 collection:

This is what he designed for a eBay with a combination of online voting. *Yawn*

The model is a bit distracting as well.

Oh, ick.

The model looks like she didn't make the cut for the runway collection and is none too happy about it!

I saw this in Feb and was *so* disappointed. That's what you call taking the guts out of a garment. The stuff at Zara looks 10 times better.

Snore. Someone please tell me the point of hiring a "designer" when the public gets a vote... the whole reason designers deserve their money is that no one else would think to do things their way.

I like many of the runway pieces, but the things for ebay?

Ugh. This is exactly why design by committee doesn't work.

Does anyone else watch Parks and Rec? Because all I keep thinking is "Congratulations, you've made a camel."

The model doesn't look too thrilled about the eBay collection, either!
