Phoebe Philo Is Back!

[Hypebeast] November 02, 2023 Weekly Digest 😱 Has Phoebe Philo Done It Again? TLDR: Almost six years after exiting Celine, the prolific designer has returned with the first delivery under her eagerly-awaited namesake label — and it’s just as strong as we hoped. Why It Matters: October 30 has been etched on fashion’s calendar in bold text since the first of the month, when Phoebe Philo confirmed the launch for her eponymous brand’s debut line. The designer, who famously held the industry in a chokehold with her path-forging work at Celine, has finally delivered what’s arguably the most-anticipated fashion line of this year; and at first glance, the 150-piece-strong range is a thrilling, matured evolution of her confident, highly-celebrated design ethos — one we have not witnessed in real-time since Philo exited Celine in 2017.

Why It Matters: Nike and Portland’s OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital have maintained a close partnership since 2004 — raising over $30 million USD for the hospital via their annual Nike Doernbecher Freestyle Program. Each year, volunteers from the Swoosh connect with a group of patients at the hospital to bring their stories and personalities to life across sneakers and complementary apparel. The unveiling of the 19th collection takes place on October 27 and an auction for its sneakers will take place ahead of a limited public release later this year. To commemorate the program’s first 18 years and the memorable releases it’s produced thus far, Hypebeast has assembled a list of the best designs to date from the Nike Dunk Low by Lance Dillon (2007) to the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 by Jaren Heacock (2023).

Why It Matters: Takahashi was not formally known as a studio artist until recently; most would identify him as the Japanese streetwear pioneer behind UNDERCOVER, the insurgent brand he founded over 30 years ago. Those close to the designer, however, have long known of his affinity for the arts. “Since I was a child, I used to draw and doodle whenever I had free time,” he tells us. His inaugural exhibition was an extension of that youthful passion, but it’s a practice that he’s refined over the past decade while moonlighting outside his design work. His practice is grounding and underscores his identity as a creative polymath. Still, Takahashi has never viewed his canvases as a business endeavor.

The show is often filled with inspiring conceptual design projects, and is a perfect place to find the next set of rising stars – making it a must-visit for most of those visiting the city-wide festival. This year, more than 220 projects took over the Heuvel shopping center in the middle of Eindhoven, presenting projects that were accompanied by a digital and physical public programme. “Presenting the Graduation Show 2023 in this central, active location will prompt visitors to reflect on how design shapes the way they dwell, work, travel, and play in cities today, and how this will inevitably change as we face the social, technological, and environmental challenges of tomorrow,” the school said.
