Phillip Lim is synonymous with New York City style, and his 3.1 Phillip Lim Fall/Winter 2024 collection takes us on a captivating journey through the vibrant energy of the Big Apple. This season marks the final chapter of his New York-centric narrative, and it’s a triumphant ode to the city’s dynamism, diversity, and effortless cool.
“In the end, it took us to do this to really understand that we are a New York brand,” Lim confesses. This realization translates into a collection that perfectly captures the city’s multifaceted spirit. From the opening look, a deep green faux fur cocoon-back coat paired with capri leggings and a poplin shirt, to the versatile two-in-one shirtdresses and hybrid tracksuits, every piece embodies the “Live, work, love, play” mantra of New York life.
Lim transcends mere functionality by infusing his garments with innovative textures and details. The double-faced bouclé fringed styles, with their intricate jacquard stitching, are a textural masterpiece, while the playful “3.1 snaps” on a tweedy t-shirt offer a clever alternative to the French tuck. This combination of practicality and aesthetic ingenuity defines the Lim design ethos.

Lim goes beyond fashion by creating a collaborative experience. His immersive art gallery showcases thematic works by Asian American and Pacific Islander creatives alongside his collection. Photographs and videos by Jiro Konami and free-flowing poems by young Asian writers invite the public to engage with the collection and its themes. This inclusive approach reflects Lim’s desire to connect with his audience on a deeper level.
Sustainability and affordability are woven into the fabric of Lim’s designs. The reversible ribbed knit midi dress exemplifies this commitment, offering twice the style for the price of one.
