An insight into the way Phoebe Philo works at Céline (NB: If the content does not show please double click on the video to view from YouTube):
It's not really that hard to realise that another brand I've chosen to profile is Celine. Pheobe Philo's current influence on the brand is doing as much for Celine as she did for Chloe 10 years ago. It's clear from watching interviews with Philo that Celine is, like Chloe, all about the elegant luxury lifestyle. Considering the modern woman's wardrobe is key....
AW Collections 2006/7 & 2007/8- 'The evolution begins...'- Celine collections are beginning to evolve. Although these collections don't fully resemble today's Celine I was drawn to the knitwear. They show you were the brand's come from...The mohair knits over lining fabric for winter coats was something that I hadn't seen before...
AW 2008/9- 'More structure please..'- a much more structural interpretation of Celine, this collection featured chunky, structured knits and a less simplified silhouette. Colours were more intense, fur was voluminous.
SS 2010- 'Graphic girl...'
It's Phoebe Philo's first collection for Celine.
'the trend book she left on our seats was nothing if not tantalising: black and white grainy photographs of nude models behind not-quite-closed doors, Marilyn Monroe, Dustin Hoffman, David Bowie, animals, children, supermodels, cigarettes and general nakedness. As inspiration goes, this was quite a show we were about to see.' - Dolly Jones- Vogue.com
