When Phoebe Philo departed C(é)line almost 4 years ago, the collective cries were heard round the world. The innovative director departed the French home after almost a decade, leaving in her wake a tradition that remains. Her tenure at Celine was monumental to the fashion world, as well as she was at the helm of an impressive number of purse hits like the Luggage Tote, Trapeze, Trio Bag as well as more.
When news of her departure broke, the market speculated on where she was headed, though no final word was ever released on where she’d end up next. Now, on the heels of an incredibly difficult year as well as a half for the fashion world we have the answer: Phoebe Philo is starting her own line, as well as with Philo’s unrivaled track record of contemporary hits in mind, this will be of rate of interest to anyone who likes bags.
According to business of Fashion, her namesake line, PHOEBE PHILO, will be a garments as well as accessories line rooted in “exceptional quality” as well as partially backed by Celine’s parent business as well as Philo’s former employer, LVMH. though LVMH’s stake will only be a minority of the business, enabling Philo to retain control.
Over the last four years, the designer has maintained a peaceful life, keeping a low profile, leaving fans speculating her next move as well as the news is welcome to many. Philo was quoted saying, “being in my studio as well as making when once again has been both interesting as well as incredibly fulfilling. I am extremely much looking ahead to being back in touch with my audience as well as people everywhere.”
More info will be offered early next year, the statement stated.
