New York Fashion Week Runway: Phillip Lim Grooves To A Sixties Beat

Have you ever wanted to go to a music venue where your favorite band is performing, saunter up the the bouncer backstage and say, "I'm with the band?" Wearing Phillip Lim's Fall 2009 collection would certainly help. While the rocker look may be typically suited for the likes of designers such as Balmain and Yigal Azrouel, Lim gives us another view from the more upbeat 60s London rock scene instead. Rocker du jour Lissy Trullie kicked off the show with a performance. Standout looks included sequin trimmed short tunics and dresses and a double breasted peacoat from the likes of Sgt. Pepper that I would wear forever and ever. Did you catch the flashes of red soles on the model's feet? Christian Louboutin continued his successful collaboration with Phillip Lim much to the delight of fashionistas everywhere. Wondering about the unusually hip bowl cut on all the models? Lim says that up and coming model Tao Okamoto was his style muse. Other beauty looks to take inspiration from are false lashes on the bottom lash line for a sleepy mod look. Pair it with shimmery pink and gold eye shadows and nude lips and you're ready to rock, Phillip Lim style. Click the slideshow to see more looks.
