We're getting more than a little peeved on this side of the Atlantic seeing as Phillip Lim just announced that he would be deferring to Paris to show his menswear line. Lim will be joining friends like Adam Kimmel, Yigal Azroel, Thom Browne and Rick Owens who all started here in New York and then jumped ship. We're about this close to start pulling the traitor card, and would gladly return Lady Liberty if our boys would just come back to American soil. Boys, we miss you, did we do you wrong in some way? We get it, the French have flakey croissants, killer espresso and gorgeous architecture, but don't forget your roots.
