A homage to joy.

Set in the buzzing Chelsea neighbourhood of Manhattan, Manhattan’s energy provided the perfect backdrop for the unveiling of 3.1 Phillip Lim’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection. However, this was unlike any other collection preview. It was a celebration.

A momentous occasion to celebrate 20 years in business.

With the sun blazing at an all-time high, guests walked in to celebrate the anticipation of his Spring/Summer 2025 collection. Front-row seats were filled with Ashley Graham, Leon Bridges, Coco Rocha, Devon Windsor, Tika Sumpter, and beyond.

When we spoke to Phillip Lim about the collection, he expressed that his ‘Memories of Joy’ collection is a love letter to 3.1 Phillip Lim in all its iterations. “We have also stayed true to who we are in this collection—it is a wardrobe for the modern global citizen.”

Business partners Phillip Lim and Wen Zhou kicked off their journey with their first presentation in 2005. When asked how this collection differs from his previous work, Phillip explained that it’s like taking classic silhouettes and throwing a little madness on them. “That twist is our signature, and that makes each piece unique. We set out twenty years ago to romance reality, and that has never changed.”

If you’ve been a fan of 3.1 Phillip Lim, you’ll instantly recognise silhouettes that resonate with the fashion house. Whether it’s through the beauty of its intricate lace detailing or the whimsical form of movement, 3.1 Phillip Lim checks all the right points in our eyes. Of course, we couldn’t ignore the display of his signature silhouettes, like his utilitarian jackets and skirts.

Curated for every personality, the collection brims with joy and reels us into the world of 3.1 Phillip Lim. For Spring/Summer 2025, the collection exudes elegance yet understated moments with crystal fringe numbers, deconstructed patches, sheer tops, structured denim, slouchy cargos, and babydoll dresses.

When it comes to accessories, you’ll spot summer-ready designs that perfectly suit our Malaysian weather. With flat sandals and kitten heel thongs on display, there’s no doubt that these designs definitely earn a spot in our wishlist and shoe collection.

As the grand finale, Faye Wong’s cover of The Cranberries’ “Dream” filled the room. Adding to the emotional note of the 20-year celebration was a roar of applause as they cheered on with tears in their eyes. Being there to witness it all gave us a sense of liberation and a deep appreciation for the beauty of 3.1 Phillip Lim’s world.
