One of the beautiful aspects of the web and fashion is its creation of a spontaneous creative space where ones vision can have a place to shine.

Out of the 3.1 Phillip Lim handbag family the botanical print canvas from the Spring 2013 collection is definitely my personal it bag for the upcoming season.

Comics used as an art form to express retro looks with ironic humor is a common practice, and of course the  fashion industry is in on the trend. Phillip Lim has now thrown his hat in the ring by showing his Autumn 2012 collection as drawn by John Ostrander and Star Wars artist Jan Duursema in a book called “Kill The Night.” The comic displays the collection with neo-noir heroines who became the natural medium to tell a story.

“A story of duality and metamorphosis, day and night, black and white, love and betrayal. Things are not what they seem. Look again.”

Along a huge Facebook and Twitter campaign the designer eventually will reveal who the characters are really based off of. The comic book is set to launch on Fashion’s Night Out on September 6th and will be available from 3.1. Phillip Lim’s website and in-store during FNO.
