Here is the first peek, or taste, of what’s coming for Celine Resort 2015… but I surely can tell you one thing- it’s going to be minimal and opulent at same time. Phoebe Philo as always made it fresh and feminine. The full collection is coming soon…
Phoebe Philo of Celine always does unexpected. After furry birkenstocks, orange muffs and Brassai inspired silhouettes, now it’s the time for… the modern woman. Celine’s modern woman reminds Frida Kahlo- strong, brave, provocative. She feminine, but wears masculine trousers and coats. She likes fringes, but without madness. She thinks colours, but tones them with black and white. She knows herself well, and knows what to cover and what to uncover. In other words, the SS15 collection is mix of everything Philo achieved up to now. We had some 60’s floras, we had long dress, we had trousers that in reality became skirts. And the new IT bag- the Curve. It’s sharp and architectural. Just like the cut-out tops with circle that exposed shoulders. But also, there was one thing I totally didn’t understand- the swiss cow bells worn as necklaces. I seriously don’t get it. But well, some things are getting more clear after sometime. That was surely one of the most experimental collection by Celine. But it truly explained the Celine woman.
Phoebe Philo’s Celine jewellery line rules. One ear earring that looks like a mini chandelier; then the crystal over-sized bracelets in olive, khaki, purple and blue are so damn good. Maybe these pieces aren’t the most minimalistic and casual, but surely one of these bracelets will steal he spotlight of the whole evening outfit.

Aah, Phoebe. You did this again. Your Pre-Fall 2014 for Celine is perfect. And, exclusively at Design & Culture by Ed, you can see the whole collection and new bags, as it’s first here! The collection is amazingly simple about concepts- sweaters tied around the waist, masculine white shirt with a coat and the blue plisse skirt are my favourites. The checked dresses are worn with fur stoles, while shoes are style with long, black socks. And to my surprise, the bags are… perfectly same. But in different, lovely colours. The Mini Luggage and Trapeze are here, but kept in pink and bordeaux. This Pre-Fall’14 collection is really great in my opinion! Art by Cy Twombly
