Phoebe Philo coming out of retirement

January 3rd, 2009

(from Chloé’s Spring 2002 show under the genius designer Phoebe Philo. I’d totally wear these clothes today.)

According Toronto Star:

In the LVMH stable of luxury brands, Paris fashion house Celine never really got up to speed compared to the conglomerate’s thoroughbreds Dior and Louis Vuitton. The two powerhouse money-makers rose to prominence under the creative guidance of star designers John Galliano and Marc Jacobs, respectively. Employing the same formula, a series of designers came and went quietly at Celine, never managing to make it a fashion darling. But this March, during the Paris shows, the name Celine will be on all fashionistas’ lips as designer Phoebe Philo, above, comes out of retirement to take up design duties. Philo comes with impressive credentials. She was a designer at hip Paris label Chloé and was a favourite of the fashion media. If anyone can bring the dusty Celine into the modern age, it’s Philo.
