If I were a glass-half-empty kind of person, I would say that when Phoebe Philo departed from Céline two years ago, she left behind a void where before there was a rare breed of quietly powerful style. A black hole that was once filled with the comfort of knowing there was someone out there creating clothes that made women feel stronger and more understood.
But! I can’t help myself. I’m glass-half-full all the way, baby. So I wouldn’t say any of that. Instead I would tell you she left behind an opportunity. An expansive field of fertile soil. An open door, ready and waiting to be walked through—and there are a handful of exciting up-and-coming brands that did exactly that. Brands that are, in my mind, carrying on the Philo spirit. Not by literally replicating it, but rather by making clothes that speak volumes without shouting, and exude effortless simplicity without being boring. Scroll down for five emerging brands to know if you have an old Céline-shaped hole in your heart.
