Phillip Lim Unleashes a Triple Threat

FabSugar — Wed, 13 May 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Amidst troubling economic times, Phillip Lim is staying positive about his business. While some designers are struggling to meet numbers, Phillip Lim's team is predicting a 15 percent increase of sales this year, giving credit to Lim's smartly priced, edgy designs. Next on tap for the budding designer? Adding three new lines to his brand: footwear, lingerie, and swim. Right now,” said Lim, “it’s not about sitting back and letting things happen. It’s about taking a step forward and pushing the envelope."

Lim’s swim collection, debuting this Summer, will consist of three styles - two maillots and a bikini made in floral prints retailing at $175. “We brought a girly, playful element to it,” said Lim. His lingerie line, named 3.1 Phillip Lim Initials, evokes the same femininity and will range from $65 to $175. The official launch of his lingerie line is Spring '10, but fans can nab them early at his boutique starting May 20. For shoes, Lim focused on creating practical designs. “Everyone’s making crazy shoes,” said Lim, “so we were like, ‘Let’s do working shoes, but sophisticated and beautiful.’"Lim's footwear collection, ranging from $290 to $675, will debut in the Fall.

Trend Alert: Flapper Fringe

FabSugar — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 03:00:22 -0700

Just when you think fringe has peaked its potential, designers come out with a thinner winner. Flapper fringe gives off a jazzy vibe, unlike its thicker, more bohemian sister. I actually own a black La Rok top similar to this 3.1 Phillip Lim Fringed Boat Neck Tunic ($695). Gotta love the way it swings with every motion. Swish, swish . . .

Trend Alert: Carrot Leg Trousers

FabSugarUK — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 10:00:38 -0700

This season trousers are very important and they, of course, have a new shape. Somewhere between harem pants and tailored trousers come the carrot leg. Their name comes from the shape as they are wide around the hips and then tailored to the ankle.

They're quite a smart addition to any wardrobe but can be dressed down with a printed t-shirt and a pair of funky flats. Add in a plaited belt for a retro feel.

Topshop have a couple of pairs in different shades from £38 or if you have a larger budget then why not invest in Philip Lim's high waisted style (£325)? Turn them up slightly and wear with a blazer for a smart summertime ensemble.

See below for more examples of carrot leg trousers available now. What do you think of the new trouser shape?

Wool Carrot Leg Trousers - £40.00	Satin Trim Carrot Trousers - £38.00
Flannel Carrot Leg Trouser - £38.00	3.1 Phillip Lim High-waisted carrot pants - £325.00

Rashida Jones sparkled in a fun sequined frock by 3.1 Phillip Lim at the Oscars afterparty. The ruffle overlay adds interest to her neckline, and notice how the taupe tone goes perfectly against her skin tone. Gunmetal sandals, silver hoop earrings, a bangle, and a shiny cocktail ring are her accessories of choice. Do you love it or hate it?
