Designer Profile- 3.1 Phillip Lim

Hands down one of my favorite lines, 3.1 Phillip Lim is accessible, sophisticated, and elegant…with an edge. Known for mixing materials: lace, leather, sequin, and other embellishments adorn his pieces. Best of all the fit is amazing! Anything in the collection can be dressed up or down and can work for so many occasions. I love buying and recommending this line because you get so much mileage out of it in your closet! It takes a real talent to manage perfect fit using different fabrications and all the while staying stylish, relevant, and on trend yet classic. The collection does all this, and the end result when wear your best Phillip Lim? A look that is effortlessly cool and classically chic!

What Goes Around, Comes Around

Hello 1970! The extremes of that decade are back and better then ever. Bell bottoms, bright colors, jumpsuits, maxi dresses, prints, fur, pant suits, sky high platforms, ponchos, and great trousers! It started with a small splash during fashion week-fall 2010 (see Phillip Lim Fall 2010 below), which carried into spring and summer 2011 and now the 70′s inspired looks for fall 2011 we saw during fashion week are filling the store floors. Here are some of my favs from the runway:
