About Phillip Lim, Creative Director and Co-Founder
A weekend job at Barneys Beverly Hills led to an internship with Katayone Adeli, and eventually, a position on her design team. When Adeli relocated to New York, Lim remained in Los Angeles and co-founded his first label, Development. After four years at Development, Lim relocated to New York to launch 3.1 Phillip Lim, his most personal collection to date, with business partner and friend, Wen Zhou.
Lim is recognized as one of the most talented and successful young American designers and is the recipient of several prestigious industry honors including those from the CFDA.
