Take a First Look at Phoebe Philo’s Second Collection

by

As a Phoebe Philo devotee with a wardrobe that could pass as a mini Céline museum, I can confidently say that her return to the fashion scene has been nothing short of exhilarating. With every new release from Collection A, my heart skipped a beat and my bank account took a hit. The anticipation for Collection B is palpable, and judging by the sneak peek we’ve gotten so far, it promises to be another masterpiece.

Enthusiasts of style and fashion were overjoyed last October when renowned designer Phoebe Philo, once at the helm of Céline, re-emerged on the scene with the launch of her self-titled label. The anticipation had been building for months due to whispers and industry buzz, and when Collection A was finally unveiled, it quickly sold out in its initial release. Since then, Philo has expanded her business, with plans to ship her designs to Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea next month, marking her entry into the Asia-Pacific market. The upcoming Collection B is expected to be the next chapter in her brand’s design philosophy.

Philo has subtly unveiled a sneak peek of her upcoming second collection, planned for release in early next year, on her brand’s Instagram page. Here, only nine posts display images of the collection with comments disabled and succinct captions highlighting the line’s name, suggesting (in an amusing way) understated elegance.

However, in numerous instances, the designs themselves exhibit a more prominent volume: A vibrant feathered garment envelops the human body and trails like a cape behind one figure, while a fiery red, Philo-emblematic leather bag is slung across another’s shoulder. Oversized sherpa coats and fluffy grey trenches offer extraordinary comfort, while illusionary sequin T-shirts boldly display the red Phoebe Philo logo.

The design maintains the consistent grace that characterized Phoebe Philo’s initial collection, featuring refined suits, tailored necklines, waist-cinching cuts for a flattering fit, and an overarching professional vibe that pushes the boundaries of what can be achieved in formalwear for women. Rather than separating sporty styles from office wear or casual garments from evening attire, the designer skillfully merges fashion elements to expand a wardrobe distinctively Phoebe Philo’s own.

Starting from January 2025, up until May 2025, Phoebe Philo’s Collection B will become accessible for purchase both online and at certain retail outlets, thanks to our global wholesale collaborators. To get a sneak peek of what’s in store, take a gander at the gallery above.
