After two years under the radar, Phoebe Philo is back with a bang as the new creative director of Celine.

"I want to create clothes, shoes, bags and accessories that are relevant to right now — modern, exciting designs that women will desire and appreciate," said Philo.

Before taking a couple years off to spend time with her family, Philo served as the creative director of Chloé. The British designer was responsible for the brand's successful feminine meets cool aesthetic with high-waisted jeans, stack heeled buckled boots, and the highly coveted Paddington bag. Her first collection for Celine will debut in March for the Fall/Winter '09 season. I'm excited!
