Nancy is tiny and can wear his clothes beautifully. She is a huge follower of his work.Nordstrom Michigan Avenue March 18

Phillip Lim understands women. “Walking the razor’s edge between the old Bowery and the new Park Avenue, Phillip Lim creates a versatile, modern wardrobe for fall. He envisions a woman who is confident in her contrasts, ready for business, but always up for fun.”

At the preview party Thursday night, between the glitz, music, cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and undeniable energy and excitement, it was apparent Phillip’s clothing touches a wide range of women who appreciate beautiful fabrics and exciting design.  The models were young, 6 feet and thin, but the attendees didn’t fit any particular profile of consumer. The customers were being fitted for his Fall line and putting in their orders. A follower of Phillip, Nancy Machonkin, is no bigger than a minute and his clothing compliments her age and body type. Many of the women present agreed: He brings flair to their wardrobe!
