After multiple delays, Phoebe Philo’s namesake label is set to launch on October 30.

Among the images were makeupless faces, close-ups of fabrics, and a model wearing dark shades, chunky silver earrings and a high-reaching knit polo-neck.
Philo, who garnered a loyal fanbase of “Philophiles” as creative director of LVMH-owned house Celine, first announced her new venture in July 2021.
