Absolutely agree—there’s such a gap in the market for corporate wear that’s both refined and wearable without feeling rigid or trend-obsessed. Phoebe Philo’s work at Céline set such a high standard for intelligent, timeless tailoring. I still have a few pieces from her tenure that I bought while living in Paris, and I reach for them constantly. The fit is just that good—precise, elegant, and quietly confident in a way that still feels entirely modern.
Also, congratulations on your upcoming Substack anniversary! It’s been a real pleasure reading your posts—there’s such clarity and honesty in your reflections. I really appreciate the conversations you’ve sparked, and I’m looking forward to what you’ll be sharing this weekend. Wishing you a lovely week ahead
