Phillip Lim's LA Store Turns One

FabSugar — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Designer Phillip Lim's West Hollywood store - 631 N. Robertson Blvd. to be exact - has been in business for exactly a year. Congrats! To celebrate, Vogue threw Lim a bash at his boutique last night. Considering how much starlets love his designs, it's no surprise the guest list was star-studded. Rachel Bilson, Kristen Bell, Molly Sims, Shenae Grimes, Leona Lewis, and Rachel Zoe all came out to wish the designer a happy one-year anniversary. We couldn't be there in person, but let's be there in spirit by checking out the fun photos.

Oscarworthy: Designers And Diamonds Unite!

FabSugar — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 14:00:22 -0800

It's almost Oscars time, so you know what that means? Diamonds galore! Phillip Lim, Rodarte, Libertine, Jovovich-Hawk, and Alabama Chanin have all joined forces with the Diamond Information Center to celebrate Oscars fashions by creating one-of-a-kind red carpet looks incorporating diamond pieces.

All the gowns, including Rodarte's (left), are currently on display at the Chateau Marmont in LA - today is the last day - so if you're in the area, stop by and report!

If all this Oscar talk is getting you excited for Sunday be sure to tune in to the Sugar network's online Oscar party! Myself and Bella will be doing our always-fun love-it or hate-it polls and Team is hosting a live chat - stop on by!

Lim has designed a "Galaxy" gown with the help of a Cartier antique brooch. The Rodarte sisters, Laura and Kate Mulleavy, used five diamond butterfly Van Cleef & Arpels brooches to liven their pink dress. Jovovich-Hawk borrowed a gold and diamond Camilla Dietz Bergeron necklace, while Libertine used 21 Neil Lane brooches to dazzle their 1930s black-velvet frock. Alabama Chanin teamed up with Gem Palace and used $50,000 worth of rough diamond beads along the neckline of her ivory gown. I sure hope someone wears one of these diamond-in-the-rough gowns to the Oscars!

Backstage Beauty: 3.1 Phillip Lim

BellaSugar — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 10:00:29 -0800

Ever want to know what a sardine must feel like? Most of the people backstage at last night's 3.1 Phillip Lim show could tell you. Luckily, I was able to duck in and speak with Nars makeup artist Ayako and the gifted hair stylist Odile Gilbert, who was working with Aveda.

While taking a break with her adorable (and very well-behaved) doggy, Ayako explained the inspiration for the look of the show's heroine. "She's very strong and confident in a very modern way," she said. "Eighties eyebrows and '30s lips meet together for Phillip's collection." To create the look, Ayako used a Botan brush to give a very light dusting of powder foundation only on models who needed it. Then, eyebrow hairs were drawn on individually for a manga effect. Eyes were completely bare, as were cheeks, but lips got a pop of red with semi-matte lipsticks in Fire Down Below and Scarlett Empress.

In the hair-styling section, everything smelled like Aveda-such a calming encounter in the whirlwind of the backstage area. Lead stylist Odile Gilbert had a simple explanation of the hair, which softly snaked around in the back of the head. "There is not a past inspiration," she said. "It's a girl from 2008. Super-simple."

New York Fashion Week, Fall 2008: 3.1 Phillip Lim

FabSugar — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 09:00:22 -0800

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!

Spring Peek: Gimme Shoes

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 14:00:22 -0800

What is Fab's Achilles’ heel? Gimme shoes! Designer, contemporary, cheapy, high, flat, boots, ladylike, utilitarian, edgy - I want it all. This Spring is going to be a dangerous one because the shoe offerings are a plenty and a fabulous. I already touched on the unexpected but very cool boots of Spring, and a storm of gladiators is coming to cover many a feet come warmer days. As for the rest? Like this oddball from Marc Jacobs (pictured), they'll knock your socks off.

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2008: 3.1 Phillip Lim

FabSugar — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 16:00:22 -0700

On a quiet Sunday models circled a sloped runway, showing the latest offerings from Phillip Lim. The aesthetic was consummately Lim, which is partly what earns him such popularity: classic, wearable, colorful, with a twist of fashion-forward.

I always love his attention to detail. One quick glance at the accessories confirms how meticulous his eye is for the small things; pearls mounted on black braid to form a necklace joined with hardware, round-toed heels with eyelet detailing, and the result of his Birkenstock collaboration all made appearances. A LBD with fringe neckline and arm holes, a navy blue tuxedo jacket, and a red leather skirt already have spots on my Spring Most Wanted list.

Keep 'em coming, Phillip, and Marc Jacobs will have quite the contender...

New York Fashion Week, Fall 2007: 3.1 Phillip Lim

FabSugar — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 15:23:33 -0800

What began as a somewhat drab, menswear inspired collection, 3.1 Phillip Lim had me smiling by the end of the show. What looked like extras out of Gangs of New York, models donned loose fitting trousers, shorts, tie neck blouses, and plaids. Neutrals, greys and blacks told a very downtown story. Bow ties, suspenders and fingerless gloves added a dose of poor boy chic.

Enter the feminine Phillip Lim girls in chili pepper and turquoise frocks, worn underneath expertly tailored double breasted coats. Loose layers and sheer fabrics penetrate the earlier masculine air. Two black leather jackets shine - one in soft buttery leather, one in patent leather. An optical red dot print emerges, almost out of nowhere, and brings a graphic element into the mix. Perhaps the most impressive part about this collection is these pieces will be half the price of the other designers' pieces we're seeing - something to look forward to.

You all voted for Lim as the FabSugar Designer of 2006 - Will he maintain his reign?
