Another Departure.
After two decades of collaboration, Phillip Lim and Wen Zhou have announced the end of their partnership at 3.1 Phillip Lim. Lim, the brand’s creative director, will be departing to pursue new ventures. Zhou, the CEO and sole owner, will continue to steer the label.
The statement went on to add the following:
“This moment represents a natural shift for both of us, with new aspirations and perspectives for the future. Wen will continue as CEO and sole owner of 3.1 Phillip Lim, while Phillip will focus on new endeavors. Although our partnership is ending, the brand is in strong hands and will continue to flourish.”
Lim’s final collection for the brand was presented during New York Fashion Week in September.
