Phillip Lim puts 'cut it up' spin on spring
NEW YORK (AP) — Phillip Lim got the memo on mixed prints, gauzy sheers and bib overalls, but he put his own "cut it up" touch on his 3.1 spring collection Monday, evoking a tension between streetwear and polish.

He colored nubuck overalls and a biker jacket raspberry, pairing them with "get it girl" muscle shirts and T-tops.
Grunge trousers came in a black patchwork and a faded mint pattern combined with a spotted pony print in black, and florals in large and small prints.
A sheer apron dress with plaid applique was open at the back, save a large X in black straps. He put subtle sequins on a floral print with a black background. A cropped open-embroidery sweater in Army green was worn over a black tank and jacquard trousers.
Other looks were more classic, including a short suit and antique white tuxedo trousers and a silk utility vest in antique white and espresso.
"It's about taking what you have in front of you, cutting it up, not throwing anything away and mixing it up again," Lim said after the show in a cavernous warehouse space in an old post office south of the New York Fashion Week tents at Lincoln Center.
