Phillip Lim<\/strong> is a designer hailed by the entire fashion world for good reason. His creations capture the essence of a moment, of an inspiration, and transpose them into clothing. For Spring\/Summer 2014, the designer chose the relaxed spirit of the Californian surfers of the 70s, and the movement of the wave served as a guideline throughout his collection. His original idea was to mix work and pleasure, and in a more general way, the infinite possibilities offered by the men’s wardrobe. <\/p>\n

The show was opened by catwalk star Ben Allen, dressed in a sleeveless parka and baggy tartan pants. Philip Lim chose to blur the boundaries between genres, joyfully mixing registers without offending. <\/p>\n

Sportswear meets streetwear, an apt interpretation of what one might imagine to be a surfer’s wardrobe. And that seems to be Mr. Lim’s motto for his collection: a melting pot of genres, a hymn to freedom. <\/p>\n

With fringed leather, knitted cardigans and leather jackets with yokes, Phillip Lim remained true to his savoir-faire when it came to materials and graphic effects. Some color appears towards the middle of the show, notably blue shades in stripes and color-blocking that open the way to incendiary reds and an impromptu young mustard. <\/p>\n

Prints also mingle with dance, with what might be called “techno-hawaiian” prints (large exotic flowers with geometric details) on pants and jackets.<\/p>\n

Sandals and espadrilles are de rigueur, adorning the feet of the excellent cast: Ben Allen, Justin Sterling, Miles Langford, Ben Jarvis, Alex Ferrario, Georges de Saint Mars, Alexander Beck, Arthur Gosse and Jester White.<\/p>\n
