Michelle Rhee’s spring collection comes at a particularly great time, after a rainy summer in New York. Next March, we can only anticipate even more, but luckily for customers that’s also when the spring collections will be in stores. To combat those gloomy days ahead, Rhee wanted to add a bit of color and whimsy to their closets. Most New Yorkers might opt for a trench or a functional raincoat, but for those seeking some new outerwear, 3.1 Phillip Lim offers a delightful periwinkle vinyl jacket. “It functions as rainwear and is made of a technical fabric, but the jacket actually has a leathery cool look to it,” said Rhee. The best part: it even comes with a matching skirt to make your full look as waterproof as possible (and fashionable), but it will pair well with jeans and slacks or whatever else you might already have in your closet.
And for when that rain finally passes and the sun begins to shine, there will be plenty of gingham skirts and nylon dresses. But one of the collection’s best pieces was the lightweight denim biker jacket, which will come in two washes. The lightweight fabric gives it the perfect slouchy look once worn, making it the perfect transitional piece to take you from spring to summer and even to fall.
