For the love of Phoebe...


The latest T Magazine breaks down our obsession with Phoebe Philo.
A must read for any Philo-phille.
Full article available here.  


Probably no one defines the modern sense of comfort with more authority than Pheobe Philo of Celine.  Not long ago, she stunned loyalists with a loosey-goosey collection of long, frayed dresses, soft pajama-like pants and sandals lined with fur.  Well, guess what?  Other designers are still knocking off that collection.  Although Philo has steered Celine somewhat away from that specific style, as you would expect of a designer eager to stay ahead of her competitors, she remains committed to its essence.  For me, that collection captured something rare in today's world of anxious, self-creatd stars - and that is a woman of indeterminate age who knows what she likes and has shrugged of what she no longer has any use for, and maybe never did.
