Phillip Lim has announced his departure as creative director from his eponymous brand, 3.1 Phillip Lim, which he co-founded with business partner Wen Zhou in 2005. His decision to step down follows nearly two decades of leading the brand, known for its contemporary approach to accessible luxury fashion.
