Philippe est Canadien, résident Londonien, occasionnellement mannequin et designer à temps plein. Ses créations sont superbes, W Hotels lui a récemment décerné le prix du « Designer of the Future » et Wallpaper celui du « Best Use of Material ». Toujours sapé en Rick Owens (et c’est là qu’il explose le compteur de points) il maîtrise parfaitement l’Est de Londres où est installé son studio de création. Rien d’étonnant puisque c’est le quartier où résident les meilleures galeries et studios d’architecte de la capitale. Tout designer consciencieux y habite, déjeune, dîne & festoie. Je vous conseille donc de suivre ses conseils et d’explorer comme il se doit l’Est. Car vous savez ce qu’on dit : PLACE TO BE !

Philippe is Canadian, a London resident, occasionally a model and full-time designer. His creations are magnificent, W Hotels recently awarded him the prize of “Designer of the Future” and Wallpaper that of “Best Use of Material”. Always dressed in Rick Owens (and that’s when he explodes the meter of points) he channels perfectly East London where his studio is located. Nothing surprising when we consider the fact that, it is there that the best galleries and architect’s studios of the capital are located. Every conscientious designer lives there, lunches, has dinner and parties. I thus recommend you to follow his smart advice and to quickly explore the East. Because you know what we say: PLACE TO BE!
