Hello Fashionistas!
In case you were wondering, what I am about to show you is a glimpse into the future of fashion. No, there are no plastic capes involved ( but we loved them on Barbie), nor are there iceberg-structured shifts ( sorry, Gaga). But Phillip Lim knows now- his resort 2010 collection includes silhouettes that will last forever and a color palette that just give it the cool-ness that Lim is renowned for. Take a look!
My favorite look of the whole collection. So swee
t and simple, yet so classy and sophisticated. The contrast of the delicate white lace top against this bigger black lace pattern gives the ensemble enough interest and fancy without going all out ornate. Love the cut and length.
Well suited!
This look takes the serious-ness out of suit dressing. I love the way the jacket is not typica
lly tailored and the pant are fitted, yet have a slight slouch to them. Plus, the lace peeking out is a cute touch to an otherwise cool charcoal gray jacket.
This look is so versatile, it's gorgeous. It's everything I want to wear anywhere. Casual but pulled-together, this is a classic example of the uptown/downtown mix that Phillip stands for. The casual leather bag and patterned ( with a slight trace of boho) loose top= downtown. [[[Phillip's current residence in the Meatpacking District might explain it]]] Lacy skirt, leather belt and ( are those snakeskin?) pumps= uptown. Lovely mix.
This look just screams modern goddess. Loving the sleek contemporary feel- that slightly off-white color against the light gray tee and the clean lines- with a gorgeous draping. This skirt flatters and hits right below the knee, but a little more leg is being exposed. The cinched waist is perfect with the skinny leather belt. So clean and chic.
So he highlighted some true Blair Waldorf fashion, lacy skirts and all, but how about some hipper Serena ensembles? Here a tough leather jacket compliments a rock hard tee. Love the tee- where can I get one? And the white shorts are just adorable, especially for resort. Double belt=genius! Props to Phillip for bringing back the loved accesory from S/S 09. But is this outfit feeling a little bit Rag & Bone to you? I've always said that Phillip Lim just has a way with fabric- maybe he should stick to the beautiful dresses with the drapings, etc. Nevertheless, I don't know a single girl who wouldn't buy this in a minute.
Talk about smart dressing! Phillip takes Ivy League-chic to a new level with this boyfriend fit short suit. Love the slouchy shorts + high neck oxford. So professionally chic [[whithout the bore]]]. Perfect lengths. Perfect tailoring.
Here, Phillip really seems to take inspiration from the downtown girl. Always on the town, he creates casual dresses for her- easily dressed up from day to night with metallic jackets and dotted blouses. Love these easy pieces-- it's easy to incorporate these looks into any style. Metallic blazer + short dress= hot trend to keep an eye out for, ladies!
