Global watch: Phillip Lim and Nordstrom Team Up For Charity

Phillip Lim is the latest designer creating for a cause. He has teamed up with Nordstrom to design a limited-edition line of tees in time for Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in May. "The t-shirt design is my signature in repetition like a graphic print. It's simple, but acknowledging my full name was a part of growing up as an Asian American and accepting the two cultures that I am a part of. This is a cause that's personal to me, and I hope that in my small way I am able to contribute to this great program," Lim said. Beginning May 1, score one of Lim's tees at 16 Nordstrom stores, as well as online. Proceeds from the US$85 tee will go to OCA, an organization dedicated to Asian Pacific American youth and their communities.
