« A longtime collector of old Céline » —

Mote designed and built the website for The Archive, Martina Lohoff’s collection of Phoebe Philo era Céline, which Lohoff began collecting in 2013. Céline, the Parisian fashion house founded by Céline Vipiana in 1945, was led by Phoebe Philo as Creative Director from 2008 to 2018. Born in Paris in 1973 and raised in London, Philo graduated from Central Saint Martins in 1996 and went on to work at Chloé from 1997 to 2006, succeeding Stella McCartney as Creative Director in 2001. Appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2014, Philo returned to fashion with the launch of her eponymous line in 2023, which quickly became one of the most covetable fashion brands. Today, her tenure at Céline is widely recognized as one of the most significant periods in modern fashion history.
