Several inspirations were cited, but the one that struck a chord the most was the least represented on the runway.
With a kick start in the right direction 3.1 Philip Lim popped cherry red (as an homage to Guy Bourdin) onto the runway as his opener. The tone on tone continued with reds greys and nudes, and then he waned a bit. Sure it is excellent to turn out a commercially saleable collection, but the first five looks were not only commercial, but artistic and Lim should have stuck with that.
Either way, there is no doubt that girls will be clamoring for his little dresses which had a sculptured ripple effect whether or not they pack as much punch as the brave red rain slicker, which paired with the nude toned dress, really does say “American traveler and Day to Evening” two things which Lim was also trying to convey with his show.
