Phillip Lim this Fall 2010-2011, was getting in on fashion’s clean-up act, now underway. “Last season, everything was on the outside,” the designer said last week. “This season, we’re paring down to the essence.”
His collection included luxe black buckled cape, a collarless camel coat edged in black silk, a leopard-print shaved rabbit fur, or a hybrid shearling-and-tweed toggle coat. Besides, he had an amazing collection of trousers – high-waisted pants most of which were cut in a seemingly heavy silk, sometimes with an animal print, that was pleasing to behold but didn’t have immediate real-world appeal. Lim in his collection had presented a beautiful collection of asymmetrical dresses as well.
