Since the fall of 2005, Phillip Lim and business partner Wen
Zhou had launched one of the most celebrated fashion labels of the decade. Creating
refined clothes, they have produced high-street fashion with equal parts
attitude and individual style. Using their vision to define the new wave of
contemporary fashion, one that has a distinct personality but speaks to the
modern woman. The merit of the brand has been associated with advanced layering
techniques, asymmetric cuts, and mixing textures and fabrics to create unique
and unexpected pieces. This upcoming season, Lim and Zhou had found their
inspiration in ‘Black Shadow’ a notorious Japanese Rockabilly gang. Using
literal references to biker attire with an abundance of leather, patchwork
denim, vests, sweatshirts, and even in dresses. Probably, the most prominent
factor about the collection is it’s wearability. Comfortable silhouettes, smart
layering, and the bold use of color is sure to make this season extremely successful
for the duo.
