Philip Lim steps down from 3.1 Philip Lim

Philip Lim has announced he is stepping down from 3.1 Philip Lim, the fashion house he co-founded with Wen Zhou in 2005. Lim will be pursuing other opportunities, while Zhou will remain at the brand as CEO.

A note from the Founders posted on the official Instagram channel said: “It is with great respect and gratitude for each other and our long partnership that we have decided to part ways at 3.1 Phillip Lim. 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. Our shared vision and hard work has allowed us to stay independent and achieve remarkable success in a constantly changing and challenging industry. From the very beginning, our goal was to create something meaningful, and along the way, we realized we could also inspire positive change, champion creativity, responsibility, and collaboration. We are incredibly proud of the impact we’ve made for the past 20 years and for that we will be eternally thankful. This moment marks a natural turning point for both of us, each with new goals and different visions for the future. Wen will stay on as CEO and sole proprietor of 3.1 Phillip Lim, while Phillip will pursue new ventures. Though our partnership is ending, the brand remains in capable hands and we are certain will continue to thrive. Spring 2025 will remain Phillip’s last collection with the brand. With gratitude, Phillip Lim & Wen Zhou”
