Backstage at the New York Fashion Week, designer Phillip Lim said he hoped that kinder, gentler times were on the way and channeled the sweeter, gentler times of the Victorian era including the 50’s. He ushered in his own version with his spring 2017, 3.1 Phillip Lim collection, calling it “my reaction to what is going on right now in our culture — it just felt right.” While the collection didn’t focus on Lim’s more technically creative designs, it did show his more feminine side, which he grounded with heavily studded platform sandals and bags, including the new Dolly bag (named for Ms. Parton).
