Good-bye Gap and hello Celine!

Pheobe Philo is clawing back to get into high fashion no more. The former Chloé creative director has just been given the job of design head at LVMH's Celine brand.

On her new job, Philo says: "I can't wait to step back into the studio and begin creating designs which will reinvigorate the brand, get customers excited about the product and work with a team that are incredibly serious and passionate about their work."

As was mentioned earlier, Philo had been keeping busy with a "secret" job designing for Gap's European operation. Le sigh. Those limited-edition collections will never be the same without her. Au revoir.

Phoebe Philo at Celine?

Don't call it a comeback, but former Chloe babe, Phoebe Philo, maybe returning to fashion in a big way next year.

According to WWD, LVMH is "this close" to inking a deal with Philo to take over the reigns at Celine. Rumors have been swirling in Paris that an announcement about the new move could come as early as September and Philo's first collection will subsequently be presented in March.

Meanwhile, you should head on over to Gap and pick up as many cute pieces from their limited edition European collection as possible. Why? Well, while Philo has been itching to make her back into the high fashion ring, she's been "secretly" designing for the European Gap. Yeah, all of those Chloe-esque chunky wedges and adorable dresses, that's all Philo, baby.

Phoebe Philo: the brand

One year ago, Phoebe Philo resigned from her position as creative director at Chloe so that she could be a stay-at-home-mom. Since that time, Philo has popped in and out of the headlines with small projects such as her designer collaboration with the Gap. However, the most exciting Philo news is the rumor that British Vogue printed earlier today in which Phoebe Philo was said to be launching her own line of clothing! And as Vogue put it, it's not a question of "if", but a question of "when".

No doubt Phoebe Philo clothes will never fit into my modest clothing budget, but I'm nonetheless excited to see what she creates for her own label.

Phoebe Philo minds the Gap

Former Chloe creative director Phoebe Philo is best known for three things:

1. Re-introducing the baby doll dress
2. Quitting her job with Chloe to be a stay-at-home mom
3. Having a truly awesome name

But it seems that Philo now has a new trick up her sleeve. According to British Vogue, Philo has been designing for the Gap alongside her full-time job as a mom. Of course, Philo's affiliation with the Gap follows the recent collaboration between the casual wear retailer and designer Richard Mouret. No word so far on Philo's creations, but I'm fairly certain that they will not involve chinos, stuffable anoraks, or Jeremy Piven.

I really want to hand it to the Gap. After suffering from a major sales slump in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the company now seems to be doing all the right things.

Style for thought: child or woman?

The International Herald Tribune has thought-provoking article that considers the fashion industry's current preference for the pre-pubescent girl over the woman. Normally, something this would not sit well with me -- I think people who think too much about the meaning of trends quickly become tedious. But with the recent ban on super-skinny models in Madrid and similar movements in other cities across the world, it raises the question of why any woman would want to dress like a child.

The article points to the Phoebe Philo's Chloe collection in which introduced the baby doll dress back into the fray. And then there's the skinny jeans phenomenon, followed by the jumper with the puffy blouse that also seems ubiquitous this fall. Clearly, these child-inspired trends are selling, even though it seems a little unclear why it is so. It's possible that the return of the child is just the reaction to the super-sexy designs of the late 1990s, but it's also possible that the fashion industry is just diving blindly into Peter Pan territory.
