The RTW fall collection I am so ready to wear!

All I can say is may I kneel before you...  Phillip Lim is such a creative genius!  His Pre-Fall 2013 collection filled my list of what I will be coveting (and adding to my wardrobe) over the coming months and the Fall 2013 RTW collection re-emphasized my need to save for the on-slaught of must have pieces that will follow thereafter.

I thoroughly enjoy Lim's interpretations of mixing and matching. His unique aesthetic vision (especially in his recent collections) really resonates with me.  But I also admire his designs because they are able to be easily interspersed with even the most basic of wardrobes and a reasonable portion of his collections fall within an affordable pricing point.  It's nice to see realism and wearability being incorporated as important aspects of a collection.  I would say with Lim, you get real bang for you buck. 

This is a collection that contrasts texture and silhouettes, and reigns supreme with layering. The voluminous coats, the bevy of tailored separates and biker-style blazers contrasted with stamped neoprene, leather, lush wool and structured over-sized pieces makes this a collection that will (I'm sure), be adopted by many with style cred.  Don't even get me started on those over-the-knee boots!  Lim proves that it's possible to be modern, ladylike(ish) and exert a tough girl rebellious streak all at once.  Sign me up!

You must forgive me for the excess images.  I found it extremely difficult to narrow down my favourite looks. I'm sure you will understand why.  Now... some 3.1 Phillip Lim shots to wet your appetite.
