...rebellious, unknown assistant with a penchant for gold teeth, diamanté-studded nails and hip-hop. Although many fashion insiders credited her street smarts for Chloé's success during McCartney's tenure, she was not an obvious choice to reinvent a 50-year-old brand. Fashion wasn't even Philo's first love. The daughter of a graphic designer and a surveyor, she initially studied sculpture and painting at London's Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design but switched to fashion as a more practical career choice.

(Nor was she an obvious champion for the soft, romantic look she helped revive.) Philo herself seemed surprised, telling people she had been given the position "without anybody really knowing exactly what I do." Says Toledano: "Phoebe understands that nobody knows how to design...
...rise 80%. Owner Compagnie Financiere Richemont, the world's second largest luxury conglomerate, is adding all the frills of a successful label: more advertising and product lines, new stores, lines of children's clothing, jewelry and watches. The long-term goal is to turn Chloe into a billion-dollar brand...
