Season after season Pheobe Philo has presented boxy-shapes, structured garments with fittingly appropriate palettes. During her time at Céline she has heavily re-invigorated the brand, taking it from a not-so-exciting monogrammed french luxury house, to being one of most coveted brands worldwide with a strong focus on both accessories and apparel. This season, Philo presented a collection which truly once again changed the way people think about Céline.
In this collection, there is still very much the essence of the Céline woman from seasons past, however, this season she was much bolder and daring than ever before. The collection was more lighthearted and the garments carried much more fluidity rather than the stiff-structured garments of seasons past. Yet structural silhouettes still very much appeared in this collection, however they were juxtaposed by a carefully selected print on a garment, which made the fabric carry a more fluent presence and personality. It was a tale of the old and the new. Often looks from the show would have a stiffened top half through the use of a t-shirt or coat, which would then be juxtaposed with the eloquence of a chiffon insert or skirt. This not only allows for movement to be carried throughout the whole look, from head to toe, but also is true of the chameleonic nature of the collection.
The latest offering by Phoebe Philo in Céline's Spring 2014 collection, described a tale of morality. Taking lessons from the past and applying them to the future.
