Phillip Lim is taking a different approach this season to showcase his fall men’s collection.
Rather than a runway show in Paris, the designer opted for a reportage approach, photographing his friend, the model Paolo Roldan, as he self-styled the collection.
In a walk-through at his New York showroom, Lim said the idea was to “romance reality” this season with a wearable collection of wardrobe basics that could be dressed up or dressed down, depending on the occasion. That shone through in the images of Roldan, who mixed and matched his favorites from the line for the photos that the company will use in place of a show.
Points!
