What If?
Phillip Lim’s Fall 2008 ready-to-wear collections is
inspired by the imaginary question, "What if?”

The mood is eccentric, brooding,
mysterious and elegant. Color offerings and combinations such as
spearmint, postal blue, emerald, marigold, carbongray, copper, rosewater
and the quintessential black are an alternate to the ubiquitous fall
selection. Textures and fabrics unite to inconspicuously manipulate
masculine and feminine. Crisp poplins, washed velvets, rich cashmeres,
two-tone lace, quilted matelasse and laundered wools are mixed with
standard issue denims, distressed leathers and metal-laced cotton
canvas. Two main shapes appear throughout the collection. Flounce sleeve
maxi-dresses, suede duster coats and embroidered kimono dresses are
contradicted with high-waist belted pencil skirts, cropped aviator
blazers and cuffed carrot pants. |
