Video Weekend: 3.1 Phillip Lim Fall 2012 Runway Show

It's VIDEO WEEKEND! This is a new thing I'm experimenting with, showing you a variety of fashion shows over the weekend and giving my grade on the show.

3.1 Phillip Lim has always interested me with its gender-bending garments that a lot of men, or vice versa, wouldn't mind wearing. In this collection were a lot of pant suits and patterns that triggered a 'roaming' '70s and '80s vibe and invoked the feelings of airiness and ease, with a touch of edgy (no, it wasn't the music).

What do you think?

I APPROVE: 3.1 Phillip Lim Shoes (Wear Your Own Unique Swagger)

I like shoes that bring a unique swagger. These shoes by 3.1 Phillip Lim are definitely unique and slightly odd, but not too odd to the point where they look hideous; you can still rock 'em with a good pair of jeans. See which ones I like:

Yeah I like these baby-blue Espadrilles!! It takes skill to know how to work 'em. Suggestion: Wear with dark denim jeans and baby-blue cashmere sweater or sweater vest and
contrasting polo shirt.

What I DON'T like:

These sneakers-- you know 3.1 Phillip Lim isn't cheap; I could find shoes like these
for a deep fraction of the cost.
