Phillip Lim is a fashion designer from California. He launched his label in 2004 when he was 31 years old. That is why his label is called "3.1 Phillip Lim".

Phillip Lim says he likes to create clothes that are ready to travel. He likes his clothes to be "confident, unidentifiable, chic and most of all, effortless". According to Phillip Lim, his designs are "beautiful crafted clothes with added touches of madness, stirring towards the imperfection." Certainly his designs are unique - the lovely dress above right is 100% linen and combines a lace effect bodice, a big bow and a mini length. Smart and cute. What else could a girl ask for?
