Celine

Céline 


Phoebe Philo's shows for Céline continue to be one of Paris' hottest tickets, as fashion editors and buyers jostle for a better view of her new-wave minimalism. For summer 2011 those looks continued, but with the addition of crafty texture and prints inspired by vintage foulards. 
The look: Grown-up minimalism with a hint of craft
Silhouette: Largely lean and languid with the occasional oversized cocoon
Key items: Fluid, flat-front, zip-fly, wide-leg pants worn on the hips, teamed with rigid-structure tops such as an elongated sleeveless jacket with baseball-style collar, a long leather tunic, a pullover V-neck top with cutaway collar, or a long-sleeved leather tee with high bateau neckline. Minimal cape-sleeved tailored blazer with cutaway collar and lapel; LBD with wide plunge neckline and two tailored black jumpsuits - one with long sleeves, the other a zip-up halter. The more minimal looks were contrasted with some artisanal pieces including a halter-top and zip-through jacket with a heavily textured crafty weave with tufted wool fringe, or a Japonesque quilted wrap-over sleeveless jacket cinched with an obi-style belt. Slicked leather pieces included a tailored tank and a below-the-knee pencil skirt with wide waistband and coordinating leather belt tied in a small knot. Oversized tees and masculine shirts with long sleeves and wide-open cuffs. Wide-leg zip-fly jeans with flat scrubs-style top
Colour: White, ivory and black were the cornerstone colours, with a singular flash of Céline orange and considered notes of royal blue, bottle green, rich mahogany brown and palest primrose yellow
Fabric & knit: Silk, crisp cottons, bonded cotton twill, linen canvas, denim, slicked and polished leather, and an artisanal weave with chunky patchworked textures and tufted fringe
Print & pattern: Foulard-inspired prints, with colour-blocked edging and central panels of micro repeats, the colour-blocked edging stripes running down pant legs
Details & trims: Contrast-coloured crew necks on T-shirts, orange trouser waistbands, stand-up collars, leather buckled halterneck fastenings, high-cut bateau necklines, quilting, long scarf fringing, zips, canvas webbing straps
Footwear: Strappy tan leather high heels with chain embellishment across the toe strap, sand-coloured ponyskin peep toe sandals
Accessories: Green wrist cuffs, necklaces with metal plaques, minimal bags with a leather thong-and-bead closure, a zip-up pochette, concertina-construction bags
