Céline is one of my favourite brands of the last few seasons. Ever since
Phoebe Philo stepped in as creative director I find it intensely alluring. For
fw11 minimalism acquires a certain 70's air. Philo says she was inspired by cars interiors (I love the wood prints) and you can see it in the precise but dynamic straight lines that she has used in her tailoring. Two of the most stand-out pieces of the collection have got to be the bright orange coat, which had a certain rawness to it, and the tri-colour fur coat —one of the best fur proposals from the season. I liked the sort of sportswear air to the more rigid pieces like the tailored trousers or the shirts and I found the colour palette very interesting, as some of the colours didn't appear more than once or twice. Is this the birth of
aerodynamic chic?
And Phoebe is just so... Céline. She's so chic and minimal and, well, British. What else can I say?
