Label 3.1. Phillip Lim’s pop art fashion is a hybrid of comic art and contemporary hipness.
The collection includes cozy knit sweaters, smooth cotton tees and handbags with pop art illustrations on them. The clutches are the most eye-catching, being completely covered in the imagery and working as stand-alone art pieces. One in particular with commercial appeal is the ‘Break Up 31 Minute Clutch Bag,’ with an up close image of a set of eyes crying. They are ideal accessories that are complementary to any outfit without being overpowering. The sweaters and tees pack extra punch with fun slogans such as, “Ka-Pow.” The sayings and tops are spirited and great for pairing with pants or skirts.
