Taylor Swift has her Swifties, Justin Bieber his Beliebers and Phoebe Philo has her Philophiles – it says everything about the rapture surrounding the Paris-born designer that her fandom comes with its own moniker. So it is, two years after announcing a comeback, that Philo has confirmed the first collection from her eponymous label will launch on 30 October.
A Central Saint Martins graduate, Philo has been missing from the landscape ever since she left her role at the Parisian brand Celine (when it was Céline) in 2018.
