FEATURED DESIGNER :
Fall 2000 was development�s introduction into
the women
designer-contemporary market. Phillip Lim,
former
design
assistant at Katayone Adeli, created a
collection of no-
fuss, traditionally inspired clothing that
exudes
a modern
spirit.
"Instead of chasing trends that disappear
overnight, I want
to create beautiful clothes that have staying
power. The
most important elements of clothing should be
that it
allows you to evolve your own style at your own
pace. I
love clothes that marry traditional with the
present and
admire designers such as Raf Simons and Jil
Sander for this
very reason."
development�s goal is very basic, "Design
beautiful clothes
by incorporating exquisite fabrics with
complimentary
silhouettes, while maintaining a modern edge
through an
unorthodox approach to tailoring and details."
