3.1 Phillip Lim

Spring 2008

Home Base: New York

Did You Know: Lim studied finance at California State University of Long Beach.

Defining Style: Beautiful clothes with touches of madness. Understated elegance and imperfection. Individual looks that are unexpected and unplanned but completely relevant.

Spring '08: The road less traveled. An exploration of redefining, reimaging and reissuing classics that results in eclectic combinations of mixing and matching staples: think a peacoat in blue denim.

Colour Palette: Various shades of blue, brown and grey, accented with white, scarlet, lemon yellow and citron.

Highlights: Nautical colours, safari-style details, nontraditional fabrics.

Quotables: "The spring collection is about a journey - literally, emotionally and figuratively. A journey that has constant movement creates a sense of adventure and leaves you asking where you were, how you got there and where you’re headed next."
