Hold onto your hats, fashionistas! Phillip Lim just dropped a bombshell that’s shaking the style scene. Yep, you heard it right!

Lim, alongside his partner Wen Zhou, burst onto the New York Fashion Week stage back in 2005 when both were just 31, turning heads with their killer combination of style and accessibility. Can you believe that was almost two decades ago? Time flies when you're setting trends!

And what's next for the brand, you ask? No successor named yet, so the suspense is real! One thing's for sure: Lim's iconic spring-summer presentation at New York Fashion Week was the swan song of a spectacular era.

But don't just take it from us! Lim's sentimental farewell was even captured in WWD's exclusive story, where the dynamic duo reflected on their legacy of independence and community strength. As pioneers in the accessible luxury space, they've crafted a legacy that echoes across the globes of New York, China, Japan, and South Korea.

Remember, fashion lovers: This isn't goodbye; it's more like "See you later." Stay fashionably fierce out there!
