Purposeful and Positive

For her first runway show since leaving Chloe in 2006 to focus on motherhood, Phoebe Philo sent out a fast-marching  group of models swaddled in earth tones, clunky wood wedges, modified trenches, military details, lots of leather, and curiously few handbags, despite Celine’s accessory-brand heritage.

The mood of the collection was “purposeful and positive.” Philo stated “I wanted to clean it up, refocus, and present a strong, powerful woman.”
