Phillip Lim courts the fashion rebel
Phillip Lim says he’s designing for a woman who exists somewhere “between disco and punk, “who’s a fashion rebel, but has taste and class. We say, we’re jealous of her clothes. In a collection where off-kilter was right on, there were ponchos that fit over ensembles like puzzle pieces and terrific wedge-back coats in a lambskin-shearling combo. There were quirky trapezoid, giant checkered skirts with suspenders, though you’ll need to be bold to wear the not-so-basic giraffe print. Most wanted? Airy, handkerchief dresses of chiffon, some dabbed with antique pave with their jagged hems trailing beneath geometric coats. Rule-breaking and limelight stealing. – Anne Bratskeir
