Marbling, remember that? You thought it had gone the way of the 80s sponge washed wall. But no. Under Phillip Lim's finely-tuned direction it feels fresh anew. Naturally.

'It's all very elemental' said Lim of his prints derived from landscapes, terrains, formations and other things you wished you'd listened to the explanation of in geography.

Elemental is the right description for Lim. His clothing is grounded around the basics then lifted with seasonal twists and turns to keep us on our toes. You've got your beautiful structured cadet jackets, trapeze polo shirts and wide-leg trousers of the sort Lim can't produce fast enough for his loyal - and growing global - audience. Then you have the pieces with the cherry on top; the leather fringe-back dress, psychedelic wood grain print trousers, marbled jacquard and patchwork fringe baggies.

One part former to one part latter and you're in the much sought-after territory of Breezily Cool.

To his collection of sell-out handbags, Lim adds the Wednesday, a tight-handled tote in various sizes and a bold early claim to the title of most wanted handbag spring 2014. His collaboration with Linda Farrow on the mirrored sunglasses is another savvy move for the fashion-literate consumer. It all adds up to 3.1 Phillip Lim being one of the most consistently reliable and youthful New York labels.
