Sister labels 525 America and Derek Lam 10 Crosby have teamed up for a limited-edition collaboration. Launching for preorder Tuesday, with orders shipping on Oct. 7, the collection will be available exclusively at 525america.com and select retail locations.

The collaboration comes on the heels of NYC Alliance’s acquisition of Derek Lam 10 Crosby last May, as reported, bringing the brand into the same portfolio as 525 America. The partnership marks an intersection of the brands’ shared commitment to intentional design, craftsmanship and accessible price points. Public Clothing retains the Derek Lam brand, which continues to be designed by creative director Robert Rodriguez.
