3.1 Phillip Lim Resort 2008

From style.com:

NEW YORK, July 3, 2007 – CFDA Swarovski Award winner Phillip Lim didn't mess with his hitherto successful formula for resort. Riffing on some of his biggest hits so far, he showed long cardigans over brief A-line dresses; flaring, pleated Alaïa-esque miniskirts with silk blouses; and cropped pants topped by boxy jackets. A ruffled-hem short chambray dress with a macramé belt looked fresh, as did a shirt in the same fabric with military epaulets that was worn with boy-cut trousers. The collection's highlight was a cocktail dress made from hundreds of tight whorls of tulle, a couture-like take on his best-selling flower appliqué T-shirt dress from spring. "Just don't call them rosettes," he said.

consistent

Hmm...simple, but wearable. But I think that even for a resort collection, it's too simple? It seems like something's missing.

Very Philip Lim. The navy blue draped dress is wonderful though. I like it!

i adore it!!!

I don't like it. It seems to lack the charm of his RTW

 

[Cicciolina]

Nothing special, very blah. It's a bit of a 'greatest hits' collection. I like the cream ruffled mini dress but even that I probably wouldn't be interested in purchasing. I'm a huge fan of his but even I'm not impressed by the rehashes.

I don't think these clothes are terribly flattering, personally.

 

[Allure]

I like the blue royal minidress. But I agree with Cicciolina, it's a greatest hits collection.

They are all very wearable but I feel that his collections are starting to become very predictable.
I would get some of the pieces shown here - I'm fond of the last cream ruffled mini-dress, but I wish he would shake things up a little.

It looks like it was done in a hurry.

very unflattering, very boring. the blue draped gown is pretty nice though.
