Last. Céline Pre-Fall 2018

Celine 1

Yes, it’s the sad truth. Phoebe Philo‘s pre-fall 2018 really is the last collection for Céline. And, once you calm down after a minute (or two), let the tears dry, face it – this collection is a gift that keeps on giving. I think I’ve went through the images dozens of times by now and I constantly discover something new, something completely fresh, something only Philo could do. As Sarah Mower wrote for Vogue, it’s a collection of “souvenirs”, collectibles to wear and adore in memory of Philo’s Céline era. Those wool ponchos; heavy rubber boots; Margiela-esque duvet coats; the white fur coat with an equally fur belt;  simple, Katharine-Hepburn-would-approve blazers. The spontaneous shots of Binx Walton, Jess Cole, Karolin Wolter and Maggie Maurer (all the beloved Céline girls) by Juergen Teller get me freaking excited as well. That’s a very, very precious fashion moment to me. And I really can’t wait to see and get hold of some of these pieces once they hit the stores this summer.

Sportswear is basic, I know. But the burgundy track suit can’t be ignored.

Also, I’ve realised Juergen Teller wore this fur coat to his latest shoot for Pop Magazine.

That. Look. In. The. Middle. I can’t.

Well, that’s all. All good things come to an end, even if we don’t want to end.

The Golden Circus

Looking for a well-curated vintage store in Berlin‘s Mitte district? I’m sure The Golden Circus will please you in every possible way. The place is a fruit of a long-life passion for fashion and crafts that Sonia, the owner, has. Ancient silk kimonos made according to traditional Japanese techniques; ethnic textiles from Central Asia; handmade accessories (if you’re here, note Caralarga, a Mexican jewellery brand, and those Sicilian bags from 1950s Italy); vintage clothing from Burberry, Moschino and others. “Wearing these pieces, Sonia explains, makes you aware of the incredible amount of work and the fantastic workmanship that was put into them. In this sense, all of them are real treasures.” Can’t agree more with that. Rather than going for another mass-produced coat, why not invest in a piece that has its story?

Mini by Luna

Mini by Luna‘s aim was to bring together woman, kids and well-curated home decorations under the same roof. The two-story space beautifully represents the subtle elegance, sophistication and simplicity of a number of Portuguese and international labels (such as Pomandère, American Vintage, Osklen, Tocoto Vintage, Aden & Anais, April Showers and Mes Demoiselles). It’s one of my favourite addresses in Lisbon for a reason – the garments you will find here are seasonless, and they perfectly convey this kind of laid-back, always sunny style the locals have here. And all those baskets! Aah. If you’re here, you can’t ignore the shoes by another Portuguese label called Maray. Those hand-made, leather babouches (nicely finished with tassels and other details) are a must-buy.
