Hasta La Ideas

And the Emmy goes to…Derek Lam! OK, so the fashion designer won’t take home a statuette tonight at the 64th Primetime Emmys, but he could surely land a hefty discount on a new Audi S4. The maker of German-engineered luxury vehicles tapped Lam to design the green room at this year’s Emmys, which will be held at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. He sped into action, defining the entrance with curving metallic fabric and tricking out the space with vintage furniture. The design elements nod to Audi vehicles and a company that Lam says shares his own brand vision of “modern luxury and uncompromised quality.” Get a closer look at the Audi Green Room tonight on “Backstage Live,” a slate of online programming that will run in parallel with the Jimmy Kimmel-hosted telecast.
