Phillip Lim teams up with Target

New York Fashion Week designer Phillip Lim is to launch an autumn 2013 men’s and

women’s collection with American retailer Target, which will include apparel, footwear and accessories.

The collection, entitled 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target, will embody Lim’s philosophy that clothing is meant to “refine, not define”. Featuring more than 100 items, the collection is rooted in a classic autumn palette of neutral tones and prints, and will retail for 19.99 to 299.99 US dollars.

Standout pieces include bags, dresses and a trench coat for women, and shoes and a leather motorcycle jacket for men. Travel accessories, such as a duffle and multipurpose pouches for women and men, round out the collection.

Target’s SVP of merchandising, Trish Adams, said: “Phillip is a designer we’ve had our eye on for years. His aesthetic is modern and sophisticated, and he shares Target’s vision of democratizing design.

“This fall, 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target will offer our guests a compelling reason to update their wardrobes, with an assortment of versatile, beautifully tailored must-haves for both women and men.”

Lim is the latest in a long line of designer collaborators for the retailer, Target has previously worked with Jason Wu, Alexander McQueen, and Missoni.

The 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target collection will be available in stores and online at Target.com from September 15.
