Phillip Lim wows New York

3.1 Phillip Lim can do no wrong it seems. During New York fashion week the designer pulled out all stops to please his retailers. The consecutive success of strong collections has led Lim to open his first New York store later this Spring, with a second store planned for Los Angeles by the end of the year.

The show, which was held in the now-closed Tunnel nightclub, was titled ‘Pedigree minus Prudence,’ and opened with a model wearing a beautiful laundered antique white bow tee with a black double-breasted cocoon coat. The most stunning dress was the closing piece: an ecru silk ganzar tulip pleat column dress with organza waist black sash, and Swarovski encrusted organza tiara headband.

Lim’s immaculate tailoring of fine fabrics have given him and edge and he is now a key fixture during Mercedes New York fashion week. Whilst the AW07 catwalk styling may not have been as fresh as it was for Spring, Lim knows what is required to please retailers and has added just enough inspiration to also please the press.
