Derek Lam May Be Having Financial, Management Issues
September 2, 2009 10:54 am
>> Is Derek Lam this season's Peter Som? A "fashion industry insider" told Page Six that Lam has been losing $1 million a month, and his label will have lost between $12 million and $15 million by the end of the year: "It's only propped up by money coming from Italian investors."Cash flow isn't the only issue Lam is reportedly having — according to the source, his CEO Jan Schlottman only showed up to work three times for the whole month of August. Schlottman, meanwhile, told Page Six that he only had 10 vacation days last month and always had his laptop. As for the finances, Schlottman says, "Everyone has had difficulty this year, but the actual [monthly] figure is far less than [the purported $1 million]."
