While attending California State University in Long Beach, Phillip Lim worked at the elite clothing store "Barneys" in Beverly Hills. It was during this time that he discovered the designs of Katio Adeli. Inspired by Adeli's style, Phillip had a revelation about his own career and called Adeli's office to ask for a job. Despite his lack of portfolio at the time, Lim started as an intern and soon became part of Adeli's team. When Adeli moved her business to New York, Phillip Lim stayed in Los Angeles and created his first label, "Development."
