3.1 Phillip Lim SS 2012

I think my heart skipped a beat when I saw these shots last week from the Phillip Lim S/S show in New York.  The collection, inspired by the "freedom and fragility" of kites, is everything I want for spring!  The pastelesque colour palette of soft whites, pale blues, lavender and peach against starker greys work perfectly and then there is the oh so perfect split-front relaxed fit trousers that stole the show for me.  This collection pretty much sums up what I am seeking this summer - Lim delivers another effortlessly cool, simple yet totally chic collection that the high streets will be replicating left right and centre, and I love it!
