For Resort, Andreas Melbostad injected "a little bit of escape" into Phi's urban DNA. That didn't make for any huge surprises, but Melbostad's amalgam of scuba, surfer, and biker elements was felicitous (and credit him for trying to keep his prices somewhat realistic—we were told that 85 percent of the collection will retail for under $1,000). A tropical print captured the escapist mood, glove-soft washed biker jackets were spot-on, and the collection was full of the carefully considered details—like the surf trunk-inspired lace closures on suede salwar shorts—that have made Phi one of the most talked-about labels in town. New for Resort was a small range of tough metal and leather jewelry: It had all the editors abuzz.

I like it. Not the b&w florals but the rest.

it's the only thing that interests me in the least...
everything else is derivative...aka...unoriginal and boring...
imho...

Although I'm really tired of comparisons to Balenciaga appearing everywhere, that was my first thought as well. For some reason I really like it, overall.

it looks directly knocked off balenciagas scuba diver collection from 2003 lol

wow this is quite bad.
just how many (now old) trends can be merged into one collection?
zipper, harem pants, leather leggings, broad shoulder, etc..
i really really do not like it.. oh and it is resort...resort for where again?

I don't like it either. And the presentation is pretty awful too. I hate that even the model's stance is *exactly* the same in *every* look.

phi is an interesting animal...really trying to get noticed but lacking in originality. too bad really because i think the spark is there. they have a strong accessory line, i always love the shoes and the jewelry seems like that might sell well, but i hope they get creative with it rather then presenting another studded bracelet line.

also, i like the shorts above a lot and if i add some in theirs are good contenders.
