Phillip Lim was 31 when he co-founded his eponymous line, so with a nod to a pretty important year, the 3.1 Phillip Lim story began. The designer’s focus on contemporary clothing with a luxury POV found instant success and has since become one of New York City’s biggest fashion heavyweights. Precise tailoring and cool details feature on statement coats and tops, date-worthy dresses and It-girl handbags.
