## Introduction to the Collaboration

Derek Lam 10 Crosby, a contemporary womenswear brand based in New York, has unveiled its inaugural footwear partnership with the luxury brand Frēda Salvador. This collaboration marks an exciting milestone for both brands, reflecting their shared passion for denim and classic fashion pieces.

## Collection Highlights

The limited-edition capsule collection offers three distinctive styles. One standout piece is a redesigned version of the Jada square-toe ballet flat, originally a best-seller for Frēda Salvador, now crafted in denim. Alongside this, a coordinating full-length denim trench coat—adorned with Frēda Salvador’s signature silver studs—completes the look.

Additionally, a chic white woven leather ballet flat with a contrasting black trim adds intrigue to the assembly.

## Insights from the Brands

Danielle Alalu, the president of Derek Lam 10 Crosby, expressed the importance of collaborating with a brand that’s female-led and founded. She noted, “Working with Frēda Salvador felt completely natural. This partnership reflects our commitment to a refined femininity.”

Both brands mentioned that their collaboration sprouted from discussions about participating in the Derek Lam 10 Crosby show for New York Fashion Week. What began as a simple conversation blossomed into a comprehensive product collaboration.

Megan Papay and Cristina Palomo Nelson, the co-founders of Frēda Salvador, shared their excitement, indicating that this partnership honors their joint appreciation for reimagining classic American styles. They noted, “Marrying polished elements with a touch of rebellion feels refreshing. We live in denim, so adding our signature studs to their archival trench and ballet flats was genuinely thrilling.”
