KAWAII=)

Is this just the cutest shirt??
I paid $285(including taxes) for this lovely shirt.
3.1 Phillip Lim's newest season has arrived and to much expectation it is as great as I thought. Hands down some of the cleanest logo and branding work to date(kinda took branding to a new level). Phillip Lim has to be, hands down, the best overall designer for 2007-2008 seasons. Look at his current track record, his collection are pushing other lame duck designers to the side while permantely claiming his spot in the forefront. Phillip Lim collaborations with powerhouses ZOZOTOWN and Japanese American Rag cie were instant classic and maybe the "had to have" items of the year(I saw his American Rag cie collaboration bag selling for $650 used, thats $150 over retail, and the bag was quite dirty but I saw at least 5 women considering the purchase. That's how serious Phillip Lim's mark is.
I do not care who you try to compare 3.1 to; Balanciaga, Chanel, Gucci, Prada, even my beloved Rei Kawakubo's Comme des Garcon lines. Phillip Lim is just that good.

Also.....
Guys if your not a fan of 3.1 Phillip Lim, it is okay.
Until this season his men's line was rather small and kinda spratic.
Now 3.1 men's section is marvelous, with about 75 sku's and rides those nautical vibes heavy.
Of course the quality is exceptional but not too formal. Phillip Lim clothing is a good bridge to extremely high fashion or for me a great compromise for high end fashion without all the attitude and flair.

Oh yea...

I just picked up these the other day.
This boxes contain some of the coolest glasses I have owned to date. There are not available at 3.1 Phillip Lim and rather scarce. Handmade in Japan and the quality shows.
I had to return the frames to my optometrist for lenses but I will keep you posted.
