Phoebe Philo to Helm Celine

Filed under: Apparel

It's been two long years since famed Chloé resuscitator Phoebe Philo left the studio to focus on her family. But come October, Philo will take over as Creative Director at Celine, in a move that parent co. LVMH hopes will again breathe new life into a flagging luxury brand.

Credited for designing perhaps the mother of all It-bags, the Chloé Paddington, Philo started out as Stella McCartney's assistant at Chloé before McCartney left to design her own eponymous line. And like everything in fashion, Philo's appointment makes whatever happens at fashion week (which starts today in New York) feel like old news. She'll present her first collection for Celine in March 2009.

by Sandy Maple (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Inspired by an old-fashioned doctor's bag, the Légende handbag is anything but dated. With clean lines in a suede-style calfskin leather, the bag sports an extra large, double-zippered top and two stacked side pockets. The warm color is perfect for fall - a rusty red they call Amour. The bag measures 14½ x 10¼ x 5½ inches and is also available in black. $1085.
