The key to effective branding in the fashion world is establishing a lifestyle and re-creating each and every season. Phillip Lim's unique designs have experienced decent success. He strives to make an ordinary piece turn into creative chic. Truth be told, his allure is in the details. Let's face it, an over-sized dress can only be seen as fashionable with the right twists in cut and fabric choice.
Fall at Phillip Lim serves to be very functional and loose (if you will). His colors for pre-fall were very soft and comforting. He played around with different layering techniques and accessories choices. For the most part, each look has its own signature casual nature to it. Pairing a loose over-sized tunic with a crew neck cable knit sweater and leather blazer, for an example, is not necessarily work appropriate but is certainly a stylish way to dress this fall. He was one of the few designers to re-introduce camel into his pre-fall collection - something we saw a lot of last fall. I continue to love the classic way a crisp camel jacket brings to an outfit. It is a must have for every woman's wardrobe. The pale pink jacket and skirt suit was also refreshing to see. I love how everything looks so effortless and cool.
The fall runway collection certainly had great idea and thought to it, however it was extremely unfavorable in my eyes. The pieces were way too elaborate and oversized in my opinion. I did however like the use of bright emerald green - a color in common use this season. Loved the gray wool blazers as they were used against winter whites and blacks.
