Just Landed: Céline and Phillip Lim
Slideshow: Get into the groove with 70s minimalism, maximalism, sex appeal, and secretary dresses by Celine and 3.1 Philip Lim at Barneys.
Behold the brave new pantsuit.
No one said a couple seasons’ worth of maxi-dresses would rule out some key minis. This puts me in the mind of Love Story from 1970s, starring Ali MacGraw.
Hope you’re not tired of the jumpsuit thing yet … because it’s only just begun.
Lifted from your local Value Village: the proper but not necessarily prim secretary dress, circa 1976.
This is what "refined" looks like.
Peachy, huh? Style.com reported that Philip Lim said the key concern of his resort collection was, "Would Bianca wear this?" (As in Jagger.)
One-shoulder shapes and uneven handkerchief hems feel both modern and retro.
Wide-legs: They’re baaaaaaack.
Definitely ready for Studio 54, or a spring wedding, or a Caribbean cruise.
