Despite her privileged background, she expressed insecurities about being labeled a 'nepo baby' and shared how her parents encouraged her to complete her education first. Phoebe's connection with fashion designer Stella McCartney influenced her aspirations, showing the potential to use her background positively in the industry.
"I was like, I have so much privilege. I'm a nepo baby, but I had so much insecurity around that."
Phoebe recalled that her father and mother were really cautious when she came to them with the idea for her sustainable fashion website."
"Even when I was little she would send me stuff and little notes, and I'd be so excited. I've been asking my mom forever if I could meet with her."
