So where do we turn now Philo’s Celine is no more? She will be succeeded at the brand by Hedi Slimane, the former helmsman of Dior Homme and Yves Saint Laurent (which he famously changed to Saint Laurent). He will bring a dedicated following with him, but it’s a following that is devoted to his signature grungy, rock’n’roll aesthetic that risks alienating Philophiles.

The Row, the label belonging to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, is a strong contender to fill the Philo-shaped hole. It shares Philo’s eye for strong simplicity and focusses on last-forever quality. But it is in fledgling designers that the real potential lies. Jacquemus, the namesake brand of Frenchman Simon Porte Jacquemus, is fast-becoming a go-to for beautiful pieces that champion minimalism with uncomplicated detailing, whilst also offering almost-cult bags and off-kilter footwear, much like Philo did at Celine. London-based Rejina Pyo is another to look to; she shares Phoebe’s woman-for-women sensibility. On the high-street Jospeh, COS and Arket have practically been built on Philo’s Celine blueprint to create their own more-affordable iterations, and this shows no signs of changing despite the ending epoch.

But if all you’re interested in is getting your hands on a piece of bona fide Philo-era Celine, consider a pilgrimage to Bicester Village, where her designs will be stocked until the end of 2018 at discounted prices. The brand’s numerous ‘It’ bags are the most-coveted items amongst shoppers there, with the classic triple-pouch ‘Trio’ bag the store’s most-wanted item; for those in the know, it is always worth asking staff what they have in the stock room as this popular design isn’t always on show within the boutique.

Céline has transformed the way women dress, without you even knowing
