God...80s by Phoebe Philo??? WHY??? Instead of "HI" that towel should show "WHY?"!! 😓

it's funny in a way that this cute towel can make you angry. I think it's absolutely fab!

I can cope with that towel...what makes me angry are those huge shoulder pads, straight from my vilest 80s fashion nightmares!

I think her shoulder-pads work a lot better than... again... other dusty crusty designers 🤧

They are stylists if I remember well.
They were invited by Valentino so brands and PRs knows about them. I don’t know how it works but I suspect that the plateform they are in are paying them?
You can grab a camera and walk around a department store too lol. See if it works ahaha.

The first time we're hearing from Phoebe publicly since her NYT interview published March 2024:

A letter from HTSI guest editor Phoebe Philo
The fashion designer unpicks her fascination with clothes and her influences for this special issue
By Phoebe Philo | Published APR 29 2025

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by our relationship with clothes.

That was my starting point for this issue – the communication in and of clothes.

Among my greatest professional pleasures is seeing someone who feels good in something that we made. That really is fulfilling. For me, it is important that we think about what we are saying, about what it means – to my team, to my collaborators and finally to the wearer of each piece.

That idea feels especially important now. With so much of our collective experience and social interaction reliant on a digital culture, clothes, for me, represent almost the polar opposite. Clothes are tactile, emotionally resonant, personal and, on so many levels, anything but remote. The person wearing the clothes wears them against their skin. The person designing them is proposing garments that may be life-enhancing, protective, revealing, seductive – arousing many different feelings, both inwardly and outwardly.

The people I have chosen to feature in this magazine are all passionately dedicated to their vocation. They are people whom I admire for their talent, their knowledge, their discipline, their complexity and their distinctive expertise, whether that be an artist in Los Angeles or a film director based in Paris, a curator in Cape Town, a gallerist in Mexico City, a writer in London or an artist who spent years carefully mending clothes for friends and strangers on the streets of San Francisco. They are brilliant and true to themselves. I am honoured to share that brilliance with all of you.

Feeling good is about thinking as well as looking.

I really like these last drops and styling. Starting to look fresher and different from Proenza.
Wish she would still do shows
