Phillip Lim sure has been busy — working on his new men’s wear collection, collaborating with Nars on a beauty line and, most recently, signing a lease for his first freestanding store, slated to open here in June.

Not to mention, he’s been putting the finishing touches on his stellar women’s presentation, full of his vision of American sportswear: easy, layered and effortlessly cool. Inspired by Little Edie Beale, though not literally, he sent out graceful, fluid cocktail dresses, not too loose, not too tight, and rendered daywear in unfussy lines with just a hint of button or pintucking details.

However, Lim fans may have a problem choosing a coat this season, because they were all great: a black leather bomber, the collarless trench, a reworked red lumberjack number. Need we go on?
