NYFW - 3.1 Phillip Lim

I'm a big fan of Phillip Lim, and this collection definitely embodies his style. With the baggy tailored trousers and slouchy jackets in sobre whites and blues, each look was effortless and yet chic. There's a slightly more warm tone to this collection considering the minimal palette. He'ss another designer who designs for the cool "it" girl, and someone who isn't scared of trying less feminine silhouettes.


However this collection felt a lot more frivolous, with the floral embroidery and prints, the soft silky and sheer fabrics. It felt more girly and less clean cut than his last collections. I embraced it, the silk whites with inserts of prints make it perfect for Summer and easy to wear, the slit gives it that slight provocative feel yet the overall design is innocent.
A lot of mix and match went out, making each outfit very versatile and wearable as a collection. Mixing prints is going to be big next summer and it shows throughout the looks. His looks are toned down though so it isn't too over bearing.
