3.1 Philip Lim


First presentation of 3.1 Philip Lim was at the 2005 New York FW. After this, the designer has received several awards like the 2007 CFDA Swarovski Award in Women's Wear. 

Lim says about his clothes : "3.1 is about clothes that refine instead of define. A refinement that's a bit classic in attitude but imports a sense of individual style without looking or feeling forced. Confident, unidentifiable, chic and most of all effortless."

The 2011 Fall RTW collection looks really easy to wear, meaning not restricting clothes. It's colorful with, on one side, winter colors (or what people think about like winter colors though other colors can be worn in winter) like grey, dark blue, dark forest green, powerful deep brown, even mustard yellow and on the other side it's strewn with what I could call Mondrian colors (missing yellow and adding a flashing green) and I should add a touch of soft nude colors. It's clothes you can wear night and day and as it's said in Lim's quote, it's being stylish and glamorous without looking too glossy. The casual looks are made of several pieces of clothes and it's really contrasting with the more classy looks, very pure, sometime with a psychedelic pattern. Fabrics look really fluid and comfortable and the leather pieces (the pant !) are really attractive with this deep and rich color that is an umpteenth contrasting point with the really "block" colors like a big white design living room with a cracked club armchair in it.
