Phoebe Philo, creative director of French fashion house Céline, is looking to leave the company, sources tell Page Six.
The designer and fashion industry darling has been at Céline since 2008, working out of London and traveling to the Paris headquarters for fittings and shows.
But industry chatter in Milan is that Philo “is getting bored of [Céline’s parent company] LVMH and being in Paris so much. She wants to stay more with her family,” which is also based in the UK.
Philo has three children with her husband, gallerist Max Wigram.
She first started working under Stella McCartney at Chloé in 1997, and rose to creative director when McCartney left to launch her own line in 2001.
Philo resigned from Chloé in 2006 to focus on her family, but returned to fashion and joined Céline two years later.
Insiders says she’s in discussions with luxury firm Richemont, which owns Chloé, Azzedine Alaïa and Cartier, for a position at one of their brands.
But other sources say news of Philo’s departure is not true.
