3.1 Phillip Lim SS14

Initial reaction:

Both neat and on the rocks.

Atmosphere:

A runway of tiny white rocks. As they walked models literally left us in the dust.

References:

Raw landscapes, geode formations, and our lifelong search for solid ground.

Double take:

An abstract wood grain motorcycle jacket with psychedelic trousers and open toe loafers.

Reminds us of:

What Reno, the female protagonist (and motorcyclist/artist) in Rachel Kushner's novel The Flamethrowers, would wear.

Unexpected details:

Geode lightning prints, shower-wet hair and textured jacquard like an ancient riverbed with flecks of mica.

Key change:

A sudden shift from earthy tones to neon honeydew dresses with crystal necklines.

Make up:

Faint purple iridescence on the cheeks.

Shades:

Dramatic shield-like sunglasses by Linda Farrow.

Immersive experience:

A mountain mist effect made up for the dust inhaled by show goers during the finale.
