For the line's [http://www.style.com/fashionshows/collections/F2006RTW/review/PLIM Fall 2006 collection] , Lim aimed to "inject some 'street elegance'" into his designs. Laird Borrelli of Vogue praised his work as a "pretty-but-cool clothes" that "don't try too hard".
Lim's [http://www.style.com/fashionshows/collections/S2007RTW/review/PLIM Spring 2007 collection] , his first runway presentation, was initially marred by problems with lighting. The show, however, was praised as "lovely" by Nicole Phelps of Vogue, who said Lim proved himself to be an "accomplished tailor". His clothes were romantic and predominantly white, with occasional navy and floral elements. Phelps noted Lim's "knack for combining the dressy and the casual", saying that "Lim knows how fashionable women want to dress".

Edith Bouvier Beale and meant to embody what Lim called "pedigree minus prudence". In what Phelps described as Lim's "most ambitious collection by far", Lim showed prep-school plaids and debutante-inspired dresses.For his [http://www.style.com/fashionshows/collections/2008RST/review/PLIM Resort 2008 collection] , Lim revisited his standby motifs.
For his fall 2008 collection at Bryant Park Phillip Lim was so confident and organised that he was seen sitting frontrow at Richard Chai an hour before his runway show
