3.1 Phillip Lim A/W 2015
Mood board: It's hard to believe that this year marks a decade since Phillip Lim's trademark union of polished and relaxed aesthetics that reset the sartorial idea of 'American classic'. In proper ode to his journey, Lim revisited these founding principles this season, resulting in a sophisticated collection of versatile separates, each powered by just the right amount of drama.
Scene setting: Staged in a sprawling blank warehouse space, models strode through a walkway artfully made from industrial metal and down the catwalk to a mix of 1980s post-punk tunes - an appropriate setting since the collection made references to the checkerboard prints, bondage straps and hole-ridden, slubby sweaters that came to define that era.
Best in show: In Lim's world though, even those elements adopted an artistic delicacy. Lim has always wielded a graphic eye when creating his collections, which came across strongly in the way differing prints and fabrics were combined together, often in a collage-like effect. Punched spider wool gave trench coats and jackets a nonchalant fragility, while flailing oversized utility straps and D-rings gave dresses and trousers a robe-like quality.
