Designer Phillip Lim has decided to leave his role of creative director of the 3.1 Phillip Lim brand he cofounded in 2015 with business partner Wen Zhou.
In a joint statement shared exclusively with WWD, Lim and Wen Zhou, cofounder and chief executive officer, said, “It is with great respect and gratitude for each other and our long partnership that we have decided to part ways at. As the brand moves into a new chapter, we are so proud of what we have built and the strength of genuine community around us.
Since its inception the brand has managed to stay independent while expanding beyond womenswear and into menswear, accessories and footwear categories; increasing sustainability efforts throughout the years, and opening stores from New York and Hawaii to China and Japan. “For the first year or few years into COVID, I was trying to figure out the supply chain situation, the team structure, the exiting of all the leases we could exit. It was a lot of energy to put into making sure we still have a good, solid ground to stand on,” Zhao said. The brand had to exit stores in Los Angeles, London, Singapore and Hong Kong. “It was really tough. We also had this big overhead of space at Brookfield Place . We had to get out of that. There was a lot of stuff to do.
