British designer and former Celine creative director Phoebe Philo has announced that after a three-year break, she is back in fashion and is creating a new label backed by LVMH.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The designer, who was feted for her luxe, understated aesthetic at Celine, has released a statement saying that more information on the PHOEBE PHILO label will arrive in January 2022, but for now all that has been revealed is that it will focus on clothing and accessories \"rooted in exceptional quality and design\".<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cBeing in my studio and making once again has been both exciting and incredibly fulfilling,\u201d Philo said. \u201cI am very much looking forward to being back in touch with my audience and people everywhere. To be independent, to govern and experiment on my own terms is hugely significant to me<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n While the label is independent, Philo has also announced that LVMH, parent of Celine, is taking a minority stake in the venture.<\/p>\n \"I have had a very constructive and creative partnership with LVMH for many years.<\/strong> So it is a natural progression for us to reconnect on this new project. I have greatly enjoyed discussing new ideas with [LVMH chairman and CEO] Bernard Arnault and [LVMH board member] Delphine Arnault and I am delighted to be embarking on this new venture with them,\" Philo said.<\/p>\n Bernard Arnault added: \"Phoebe Philo is one of the most talented designers of our time.<\/strong> We have known and appreciated her for a long time. Phoebe contributed to the success of the group through her magnificent creations over several years. With this in mind I am very happy to partner with Phoebe on her entrepreneurial venture and wish her great success.\"<\/p>\n
