And who says that fashion doesn’t have a heart — besides me and everyone I know. To ease the pressure on a very pregnant Phoebe Philo, who’s expecting her third child sometime in April, Céline has decided to cut its fall runway show and instead opt for a scaled-down presentation.
“A runway show is a very demanding and personal engagement for a creative director,” Céline CEO Marco Gobbetti told WWD. “The objective is to simplify.” Gobbetti also said he’s considering an informal and intimate presentation in the house’s showrooms. Meanwhile, Philo, it seems, is determined to work up until her water breaks. According to Gobbetti, she’s still “designing the collection with her team” and is expected to attend the presentation on March 4.
I was center square from 1969 to 1978, during which I perfected the art of the zing as well as a crippling cocaine addiction. Bea Arthur was responsible for both.
