Everyone wants to be edgy, don’t they? Even those men that still refuse to let go of the classics that built the foundation of menswear. For his first men’s presentation, Phillip Lim helps blur the line where cool meets old fashioned and creates a simple and refreshing collection of pure modernity (with a little homage to a little of the 80s & 90s).

Leather in Spring/Summer. A concept we’ve grown to love since Ricardo Tisci refuses to give up the idea. If your in search of a Spring alternative to the leather drenched Prada Fall 2009 ensembles, but are afraid of dipping into the Prada collection in fear of being “so last season”, fear not. For Spring 2010, lambskin takes the place of Miuccia’s vinyl like leathers in the form of shirt, cuffed bermuda short, and the always edgy bomber jacket. My favorite lambskin take coming in the form of the black rolled-up “Guru” pant.

Later moving towards the more classic side of it all, Lim tackles the dapper man in everyone with a “windowpane” pattern. A boxed/lined pattern that can easily be mistaken as Hugo by Hugo Boss, but can only read as Phillip Lim through the rich wheat and oak colors.
