Fall 2011 RTW: 3.1 Phillip Lim

My regular readers will be more then aware of my undying love for 3.1 Phillip Lim and his Ready-To-Wear Fall 2011 collection has not made that adoration and awe falter in any way.

Here's a small selection of the collection courtesy of Style.com where you can see it all.

LOVE this green

So easy, so elegant

Painfully Gorgeous

Today I saw the 3.1 Phillip Lim Spring 2011 collection and it actually made my heart ache with appreciation.

I have been a long time admirer of Phillip Lim but this collection makes me want to utterly surround myself with his looks, materials and silhouettes.

The  textured contrasts and shadows that his looks and design creates are incredible.

I couldn't narrow my favourite looks down so you've rather a lot to drool over.

P.S The shoes are pretty amazior too...

 So I shall seek and search to incorporate mini satin collars, apron tunics and sheer lace pieces into my outfits. Any success I have I shall share but I think it's safe to say unless I can buy one of his looks (unlikely) it's hardly going to look as breathtaking.
