Phillip Lim has always thrived in the in-between: where utility meets polish, and casual layers are sharpened into statements. This leather vest from Spring/Summer 2014 (Look 14) is a prime example.
The silhouette borrows from biker language — pointed collar, asymmetric zip, heavy hardware — but Lim reroutes it through color and finish. Earthy brown leather is spliced with metallic silver panels, turning a functional garment into something sculptural and graphic.
It’s not just outerwear, it’s an attitude: pragmatic enough to wear anywhere, bold enough to hold its own as the centerpiece. A snapshot of how New York cool could feel both easy and assertive in the early 2010s.
