Phillip Lim Quotations

There is a secret hippie within me.

I try to always have flowers in the house. I have a florist in Chinatown, and they deliver orchids every two weeks. I like living with living things.

I think my parents were immigrants, you know, so I guess I would be first generation. Growing up in California.

I swear by the invigorating shampoo and conditioner by Como Shambhala. When you’re in need for a quick mental vacation, it does the trick

I started in college as a business major and finally transferred to home economics and studied making clothes.

I'm not such a public person.

I'm such a technophobe.

My mother was a seamstress, so making clothes was not something you would willingly go into.

Being from a very traditional Chinese-American family, my parents believed the only options to have a successful life were to be a doctor, a lawyer, an engineer or a business person.

I don't have a life where it's galas, posh affairs. It's me, my dog and a sofa. And a TV.
