OK, I do have to confess I fell into this trap, face first and I am trying hard to get out, I really am… I’m a Phillip Lim enthusiast, but most of all, I am a sportswear enthusiast, or to be more precise, I would own a million sweatshirts If I could. Unfortunately for me, my apartment is only 65 Sq meters, so theres no space for that amount of sweatshirts and most importantly, I just cant justify to myself paying 490 euro for a sweatshirt, yeah 490 Euro.
I remember when I first laid my eyes on 3.1 Phillip Lim’s resort collection, I truly feared for my wallet, but then it occurred to me that I could DIY my favorite piece . I went and found a very similar sweatshirt, bought some zippers and did it, bam, 490 euro ended up costing me around 60 and it still looked very -VERY- similar. Sure, its not the original one, but I know that I would have gotten over it eventually and 490 is a very high price to pay for that risk.
You can see my very own DIY here and were I finally wore it -during NYFW- here.
P.S- I still kind of, sort of want the grey version, dammit! :S

Your DIY is so good Andy!
Also,the blue option seems to be more eye catchy.Plus the blue works on contrast with black zips.
There’s definitely nothing like that in the grey version!
Awesome sweater!

Honestly I prefer your version, It just looks better to me. But then again I totally understand falling in love with something that is just way to expensive.

Wow, you did it great! I would never spend so much money on a sweatshirt. I would consider this amount for a bag or shoes but for a sportswear? Never :-)

It is amazing, indeed. But maybe you can find a similar print/embroidery in Zara of H&M. I remember them having things like this. Then you can DIY again and put the zipper in.
