“Discussions with LVMH before I joined Céline went on for a long time. They started off about me having my own label, and then turned into a conversation about me joining Céline. It hasn’t happened so far, but maybe it still will. When I came to the house, I had an idea of what I thought the core values of Céline should be,” she said. “Céline had no recognisable silhouette, no famous historic designers, it hadn’t been licensed out in the Seventies and Eighties as many other brands had. I’ve never really looked into archives anywhere I’ve worked, actually… I feel, like it or hate it, it doesn’t matter, I just like it to be strong. I think it’s worth doing something differently.” – Phoebe Philo
