This all looks very Dries circa s/s 2011, just not as exciting.

Oh, you know, some people just don't need much to be impressed.

Personal attacks aside, this collection is a huge bore. Sure there are some nice jackets and pants but overall I find Lim too derivative and his own aesthetic too watered down to be of any note.

And Gergin, Van Noten and Lim use the same stylist so the similarity could be due to that.

Not very good at all. The mens collection has outdone his womanwear this season. I just can not find anything to actually 'like'.

It's all coming together now, lol. For the longest time I was trying to point my finger on something about Phillip Lim haha!

Interestingly, to me, this happens to be a more exciting NY collection so far. In fact, his past two collections have been much more coherent than before.
I like the scuba diving looks at the beginning of the show and some of the fabrics also look interesting (by NY standard).
But why is NY fashion week so boring

I loved his last Fall collection.

This one doesn't come close, alas. It's just okay imo.

Practical yet creative collection, his collection is getting better.

Phillip Lim got deep into geology this season. And when asked, after his show, what got him so interested in the earth and its elements, the designer replied, simply, "standing on solid ground." Hmm. The comment was interesting not only because it was pretty opaque but also because the thing Lim got at really well in this collection wasn't earthen solidity but flux. That was especially true of this season's standout looks, which featured geode-inspired embroidery on organza. Geodes, for those readers who haven't visited a natural history museum in a while, are those rocklike mineral formations that split open to reveal swirls of many-hued crystal; they are a record of a moment of becoming. Lim's embroideries captured that, as did (to a lesser degree) his geode-inspired silk prints. Elsewhere, Lim took on the variegated palette and texture of seemingly monotone landscapes, translating that quality into metal-mottled, patchworked, and pearlized leathers. The pieces themselves never felt obnoxiously literal, though; women are going to like a fluid, knee-length skirt made from contrasting leathers whether they get the backstory or not. And Lim being Lim, there were a ton of garments here that were all about commercial rather than conceptual appeal—to wit, the wide-leg cuffed trousers or the pieces in sherbet-toned jacquard. Lim is an avid explorer; he just chooses to do his exploring close to home. On terra firma, as it were.

All of the pastel is making me feel a bit sick , but overall I enjoyed this collection. It's solid, somewhat boring, and beautiful/retroish.

[liashoes]

This is what Phillip Lim is excellent at doing - providing beautifully designed and desirable clothes, I look to him to see a solid collection of garments one can imagine mixing in with clothes one already owns.
This collection felt as if it was designed for what his last season's girl was trying to be in the ad campaign - young, frivolous, the type that wears a blouse once, ruins it and throws it away.
Phillip Lim's woman can be young and frivolous, but his strengths don't lie in designing cheap gimmicky clothes like the I heart NY t-shirts.

he want to be so so supercool. but he's trying too hard. in the end it's just so dated and bad.

The hair is totally Prada F/W 13/14. I can't even try to salvage this collection, there are just too many bad elements pooling together.
