Nearly a month after Phoebe Philo unveiled her long-awaited collection—which included an idiosyncratic mix of expertly tailored pleated pants and statement pieces that carried with them a certain kind of emotion, like a wholesome gold necklace spelling out MUM or a funky pair of allover-fringe trousers that simply begged for a dance floor—a new drop has arrived. Consisting of 40 new styles as well as a second delivery of continued pieces, the new offering doubles down on Philo’s vision for the future, one that completely eschews seasons and emphasizes a luxury that may be quiet but could never be mistaken for subtle.
There’s certainly nothing tame about a golden bikini, with a wrap-style top and a studded high-waist, full-coverage bottom, which is the singular swimsuit offering in the collection. It’s undeniably sexy and will likely be flattering on a wide variety of bodies. A bomber jacket in what’s called laurel leather, a dark and rich mossy green shade, is paired with a matching opulent shearling scarf, which the model has dramatically tied around her neck (the better to see the sumptuous so-called brandy shaved shearling underneath). A pair of sunglasses begs the question: ski goggles or regular sun protection? As if the answer really matters.
