Vogue reports today:

AFTER a two-year sojourn outside the fashion lines, former Chloe creative director Phoebe Philo is making a comeback - as the new creative director of Celine.

Both fashion labels are owned by luxury mega-firm LVMH and Philo so impressed its ceo, Bernhard Arnault, with her directional handling of Chloe between 2001 and 2006 that she was an obvious choice upon which to call for the Celine shake-up.

"By giving her Celine, we're giving her a platform to express her vision," says Pierre-Yves Roussel, ceo of LVMH's fashion division. "For Celine, which is a bit more grown-up as a brand, the fit is very good in terms of her style, her personality and where she is in terms of her own development."

Having spent her time away from the fashion limelight bringing up her young family, Philo hops back in the saddle next month and will present her first Celine collection next March for the autumn/winter 2008-9 season.

"In the current climate customers are looking for something that will get them interested and excited about buying again," she tells WWD. "I want to create clothes, shoes, bags and accessories that are relevant to right now - modern, exciting designs that women will desire and appreciate."

I am so happy Phoebe is coming back! And to a house that could potentially make a HUGE turn-around under her capable and talented hands. I was devastated when she left Chloe. The brand has not been the same since.

Welcome back Phoebe!

Shoes

This article in Vogue this morning:

ONE-TIME Vogue cover girl Catherine Zeta-Jones has raised the bar for shoe obsessives everywhere by admitting that she buys her favourite styles in bulk so that wherever she is in the world, she'll never be at a loss for the finishing touch to an outfit.

With bases in Los Angeles, Quebec, Majorca and Bermuda, it's understandable that the Welsh actress could be frustrated at not having access to that perfect shoe, so she simply stocks each of her homes with identical wardrobes - much to the dismay of her other half, Michael Douglas.

"I have to buy duplicates," she admits to WALESONLINE.CO.UK. "It's something that I have to continually explain to my husband. The worst thing about having all these houses is that when I have an outfit and I think it's going to look great with a certain pair of shoes, they're in Mallorca or Bermuda. So that's why."

Sparked the following conversation between me and My Guy


Me: Babe I think you should be glad we don't own multiple houses
My Guy: Why is that?
Me: Because you know I am a shoe nut right?
My Guy: (Insert guy grunt here) Uh huh
Me: So Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas own all these houses around the world adn it causes her tons of problems
My Guy: Uh huh
Me: See when she finds shoes she likes she has to buy one for each house so she is never stuck anywhere like Bermuda without her favorite shoes.....so they aren't back in New York or something. See now I don't seem so bad huh? At least I only buy ONE of each shoe.

Silence

Imagine very serious guy look

My Guy: I think you should not read that kind of stuff anymore

He leaves the room
