3.1 Phillip Lim
REVIEW
COMPLETE COLLECTION
NEW YORK, February 7, 2006
By
While violinists played classic Prince hits in the background, Phillip Lim spoke about wanting to inject some "street elegance" into his popular year-old 3.1 line. The closest the show got to street, though, was a Hendrix-style band jacket worn over a shirtdress and a biker vest paired with a plaid shirt that might have appealed to a Richards sister. Actually, it was a good thing that Lim didn't push his theme to an extreme. The appeal of his pretty-but-cool clothes is that they don't try too hard. Here, that meant a ruff-collar blouse to pair with shorts, a houndstooth trench with rolled sleeves, or a bow-belted skirt. And who could resist a shearling box coat trimmed with rope beading à la Chanel?
