If Look Books Could Kill - Phillip Lim's KILL THE NIGHT

A Fashion Comic for NYC Fall Fashion Week 2012

This is quintessential Fashion and Action - I love it when Fashion and Comics Team-Up - and this
showcases a particularly dynamic trio. Designer Phillip Lim enlisted writer/artist duo John Ostrander
and Jan Duursema (probably my favorite team from the Dark Horse Star Wars Comics) to a create a
Neo-Noir Comic Look Book featuring his Fall 2012 Collection which was inspired by edgy modern
classic titles like V for Vendetta and Sin City. You can sign up for a free copy @ 3.1phiiliplim.com.
The comic will also be the Designer's freebee at tonight's Fashion's Night Out event kicking off
NYC Fashion Week. More details on the project @ Style.com. Above you can enjoy some
preview pages - while some blown up panels and B&W art a featured below via Lim's Pinterest.

Just fantastic! Reminds me so much of  Eclipse Comics' Fashion In Action - the inspiration for this blog!
