The rumor was true: After 9 years as the head of Céline, Phoebe Philo is leaving the house.

The rumor mill of&nbsp;Phoebe Philo&#39;s departure from&nbsp;C&eacute;line hasn&#39;t stopped turning since Riccardo Tisci&#39;s exit at Givenchy. Back in October, <a href="https://www.businessoffashion.com/articles/bof-exclusive/phoebe-philo-said-to-be-exiting-celine">Business Of Fashion</a>&nbsp;reported that LVMH was interviewing multiple designers to replace the creative director.&nbsp;

Today, we&nbsp;have the confirmation, from a LVMH source, that Phoebe Philo is indeed leaving the French house for good, deciding that it&#39;s&nbsp;time for a break and that her mission at C&eacute;line is&nbsp;done. She will not join another house immediatly, according to the same source.&nbsp;

Phoebe Philo, who became creative director of the brand in 2008, has reinvigorated the C&eacute;line brand, leaving an inescapable and incomporable&nbsp;mark. Needless to say, there are big shoes to fill, and iconic bag designs to live up to for the next designer.
