Nick: “This season, I think I’m going for the 80s-movie-bully look.”
Me: “Like, jock-bully or the loner-rebel-bully?”
Nick: “…like the jock from a broken home, you know? He’s in the right social circles, but he’s got some baggage.”
Me: “I totally get that.”
For those of you who didn’t get that, please turn to page 3.1 Phillip Lim.
Lim’s Pre-Fall 2012 collection is the sartorial equivalent of The Breakfast Club, simultaneously distinguishing and blending all of the exaggerated social conventions and strict stereotypes required for an 80’s teen dramedy. This theatrical uprising in social politics plays out in cashmere and leather. Varsity jackets, comic nerd prints, and ultra-preppy silhouettes now all sit at the same lunch table – for this semester, at least.
[Cue music for inspirational closing montage.]
