Label Text:As exemplified by this relaxed tuxedo-style jumpsuit, Phoebe Philo’s designs are concerned less with glamour than with the wearer’s comfort and confidence. This has marked her directional style since she joined Céline in 2009. Vogue noted that “Phoebe is a proven genius . . . for tuning into the intuitions of a generation — she’s acted as lightning conductor of the female energy of the times.”
