"Fashion designer and native Californian Derek Lam brought an architectural eye to his spring 2012 runway collection, drawing inspiration from Richard Neutra's Palm Springs masterpiece, the Kaufmann House. Built in 1946 and one of Neutra's most famous homes, the Kaufmann Desert House is celebrated for its integration into the surrounding landscape. As Lam explains, \"Neutra created such unique homes in the desert, demonstrating that modernism can be international in spirit but also very local in its inspiration. That, to me, is what is great and eternal about the Kaufmann House.\"\n\nPinterestFacebookLibrary of Congress 2011\n\nThe influence Lam drew from the Kaufmann House and its desert surroundings is evident in several key looks from the collection, which is available at dereklam.com.
