The Comeback Kid

Phoebe Philo is coming back in a big way this June when she reveals her collection under the Celine label. She took the fashion world by storm when she became the fashion designer for Chloe after starting out as Stella McCartney's design assistant. It was acknowledged that under Philo's tutelage, the Chloe brand developed into a more chic, edgy and feminine line.  She however left Chloe in 2006 citing personal reasons. And now with her appointment as the new creative director of Celine announced in September  2008, her history of unique style variations is sure to continue. No sketches have been revealed yet but Philo promises pieces that are both classic and functional, "designed in such a way that it takes you through the day". Sounds like Phoebe Philo's comeback was worth the wait.
