Phoebe Philo Returns in September 2023: Sound the Trumpets!

On Resee.com, Phoebe-era Céline is one of the top-three selling labels. Imagine that fact: Phoebe’s Céline follows Chanel and Hermès.

Phoebe understands us — the woman wearing her fashion — is a constant theme among her devoted. Lynette Nylander, the executive editorial director of Dazed, explained further. Down to the most finite detail “how wide her armholes are, the fact that she always paired things with trainers. This is someone who’s not living a curb-to-cab lifestyle. I’m on the subway, I’m sweating, but I still want to evoke some sense of fantasy. Phoebe was the master of doing that.”

Backed by LVMH, Phoebe Philo will be available to see and buy in September 2023. One assumes this will go well, because for every 20-year-old, who doesn’t even know about Phoebe Philo, there’s a 35-year-old who is thrilled to have her back in business.

Designer Phoebe Philo is returning to fashion with her own namesake house and the backing of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton as a minority investor. Details have not been announced, but it’s well known that Philo prefers to work from her home base in London.

In the words of Vanessa Friedman of the New York Times, “Listen? Do you hear that? It is the intake of breath after thousands of women’s fashion prayers are finally answered.. . . Phoebe Philo, the patron saint of dressing for the female gaze . . . is returning to business . . . on her own terms.”

Philo’s David Sims images — covering the debut issue in 2010 of The Gentlewoman’ — are testimony to her status as one of the most talented, revered — and commercially bankable — designers of her generation. Presumably, the vintage copy of the magazine, sold online for £250.00, just doubled in value and probably more.

Philo, long championed by Delphine Arnaut, said in 2009 about her vision for Celine “it felt better for me to work on an idea of a wardrobe than too much trend. I worked hard to create things that stand the test of time.”
