I’m sure you’ve all heard that there will be no Céline show this season : Phoebe Philo, the famous artistic director for the brand, is expecting a baby in April and so has decided to replace the show (which has to be something terribly stressful) with an informal, intimate presentation. We don’t know much more (and that’s how it should be), but the first reaction I had, personally, was to be super pleased by the strong message sent by the designer. After the downfall of designers in recent seasons, to see someone take the risk of actually giving herself a personal life, it shifted something for me… Something really hopeful.

This is such a hopeful positive message but I am so fearful for the concept of the “mommy track” and I am so frustrated by that concept. When applying for my current job that was one of the first things they asked me about — when I was planning on getting pregnant - the mommy track is loud and clear!
