The former Chloé and Celine designer, with LVMH as a minority owner, presents a collection encompassing ready-to-wear, footwear, and accessories at luxury price points, exclusively available on the Phoebe Philo webstore.
The collection seamlessly blends masculine and feminine aesthetics, featuring tailored pieces, knitwear, draping, roomy shirts, and wide-leg trousers cinched at the waist. Textured dresses, roomy leather bombers, cargo pieces, and an array of body-skimming and oversized cuts round out the range. While some items come with high price tags, such as a «hand-knitted T-shirt dress in iridescent stucco» priced at £13,000, there are more affordable options, including a «hand-combed embroidered dress» at £2,600, a scarf top at £1,400, and sunglasses starting at £340.
This collection, in development for over two years, debuts during a challenging period for the fashion and luxury industries. However, the ultra-luxury market continues to thrive, exemplified by Hermès’ recent results, with some Phoebe Philo pieces already sold out.
The collection is categorized into edits, with the first, known as A1, comprising 150 styles. It is available through three webstore deliveries, with the initial delivery being the most extensive. The second edit, A2, is scheduled for release in spring 2024.
The collection is season-neutral, featuring 150 pieces with a focus on wearability. The shoes and accessories play a vital role, offering giant-sized totes at premium prices alongside more accessible options like shoulder bags and the Small Kit Cabas. Footwear options include squared-toed heeled pumps, loafers, ankle boots, and platform Jodhpur Boots, ranging from £850 to £1,250.
