When Phillip Lim is inspired by David Bowie's character The Man Who Fell to Earth and Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac, the resulting collection is full of sheer fabrics, satin, Swarovski crystals dotted here and there, and even a little glam gold.
The hems are much more modest on this Lim collection than they have been in the past: the skirts and dresses all hit right at knee-length, if not below. The matronly feel was carried through with long, loose granny cardigans. But Phillip kept his label's cohesiveness, focusing on solid, classic pieces with a contemporary flair. Pants were cropped, jackets boxy, jewelry Marni-esque. And the palette was typically neutral, interrupted by punches of Fall-worthy turquoise or burnt orange.
I can't say this is my favorite Lim outing, but here's to hoping he will refine the pieces before they hit the racks!

Photo number 8 is by far my favorite. Agyness did it and so did ashley olsen and phillip lim hit it spot on - leather jacket over gown. Love it.
I really liked this line and thought it was very interesting - especially the exaggerated accessories.
1Not too shabby...
2i love it. love it. i think the material selection is by far the best part of this collection.
3I am with kitkatherine on this one: his fabric choices were spot on. It's a great collection though, I am not too crazy about it!
4I'm not super into it...but there are a few pieces here and there I would love to have.
5Some of it is very nice.
6i actually saw that David Bowie movie you're referring to...it turned me into a bowie fanatic! the costumes/wardrobe weren't outrageous though but still classy. that movie def. turned me to a david bowie fan instantly
7LOVE! Whoever said the materials are spot-on, amen!
8My only criticism is too much draping - throw us a tailored look, man!
9I agree with Chellybean, there's a little too much draping for me...but I really like photos #8 and #13.
10Great looks here.
112, 8, 11 & 13 are my favorites. Phillip Lim creates such easy-going pieces that you can really make your own and are very clean & simple.
12it was okay, nothing really got me too excited.
13love the colours!
