Céline
Clearly still the hot ticket, Phoebe Philo’s cult-like reign at Céline garnered another full house in Paris yesterday. Applying her streamlined modern minimalism to inspirations taken from the interiors of luxury cars - think cream leathers and walnut-grain dash - the look was cool and sleek.
The look: Streamlined luxury
Silhouette: Tailored with a longline flare
Key items: With such a minimal aesthetic, the biggest statements came through outerwear - tailored chesterfield coats hitting a midi length, a couple of wide-cut collarless options, simple wrap coats with concealed fastenings, and a patched mink option with a single rever. Flat-front trousers were slim and tailored, featuring inset leather waistbands or side panels, and worn with white poloneck sweaters, while skirts and dresses were made up of strips of leather and sheers. Elsewhere there were on-trend T-shirt-shaped shell tops, neat shirts with narrow collars, long-sleeved sheaths with leather panelling, and bandeau tunics layered over straight-cut pants for evening
Colours: Walnut brown, grenadine red, rich tan, creamy beige, black, white and a single shot of the pastel pink from the pre-fall collection; a couple of retro colour combinations - carrot, sunshine, brown and beige or claret, sky, navy and grey
Fabric & knit: Felted wool, compact tweed, bonded wools with fur or tweed, fur-like brushed wool, dyed and patched mink, pummelled-finish leather
Print & pattern: Walnut woodgrain inspired by luxury car interiors
Details & trims: Raw edges, leather sleeve cuffs, zipped trouser ankles, cinch straps, leather panels and inserts, concealed closures
Footwear: Pointed loafers with exaggerated tongue
Accessories: Gladstone bags and large flat clutches
