3.1 Phillip Lim
Designer: Phillip Lim

• “Perhaps the most fun item … was saved for last: A lavishly embellished denim jumpsuit. For good measure, it was paired with a motorcycle vest in black leather: classic Lim.” [AP]
• “3.1 Phillip Lim delivered to his legions of fans with his cool-girl-chic Fall 2013 collection, shown in an industrial space inside the New York City central post office.” [FabSugar]
• “Looks were expertly multi-layered – impressively sans bulk given the number of pieces contributing to many of the ensembles, and crafted in striking autumnal hues with hints of pink and turquoise thrown into the mix.” [SHOWstudio]
• “Those looks will move at retail, particularly the motorcycle vests and jackets that had a fluid, feminine spin. But the most interesting pieces in this show saw Lim interpreting his theme more liberally and conjuring a kind of shrugged-on, to-hell-with-it errant-ness.” [Style.com]
• “Sono Mama is the name of the collection. It’s a phrase that means ‘as you are’ in Japanese, a state of being that Lim is celebrating this season, specifically, by dressing his girls in an eclectic mix of neo-Bohemian clothes, complete with the many patches of their well-traveled pasts.” [Vogue.com]
• “Balancing good design with commercial viability is a dance, and the designer did a bang-up job of it this season.” [WWD]
