[ADLET]

NEW YORK, June 14, 2010
By Nicole Phelps

The first thing you noticed at Celine's showroom presentation today: the wall of accessories. In addition to reorienting fashion in a more minimal direction with her ready-to-wear, Phoebe Philo ushered in a new era of small, understated bags when she launched her boxy, shoulder-strap Classic bag last year. For Resort, she's added a new, larger Classic bag to the lineup, as well as fluorescents and exotic skins. The designer's approach, whether to It bags or to clothes, is evolutionary. Just because the rest of the world has latched onto her vision and even tried to give it a handy label—"utility chic"—doesn't mean she's ready to hare off in a new direction. On the evidence of this showing, she remains committed to building an iconic wardrobe, and there's little doubt that in the short time she's been at the French luxury goods house, she's designed some iconic pieces.

The natural jute Philo used for Spring's popular A-line skirt and high-waisted, flaring pants reappeared here in the form of a collarless coat with subtle gold buttons and a sleeveless shift with not-so-subtle zips above the breasts. Her full trousers were cut in crisp white cotton and paired with a matching tunic (she also showed the look in tobacco brown). Her familiar evening all-in-one was demure in front and daring in back, with a low V cut. And the peplumed army jacket that you saw all over the front rows has been extended into a coat. An off-white silk satin halter gown suspended from a brass necklace summed up the collection—and Philo's MO—rather nicely. It was a subtle knockout.

This is beautiful, the gold jewlery is perfect! I'm in love with look #10 and #28, this is just perfect

 

[LagerfeldBoy]

The gold jewelry is divine! Especially the neck pieces. Overall i'm lusting over everything. Right amount of color, the wide trousers, great use of leather, definitely gorgeous. Seriously though, the photographer did a horrendous job. How is it possible to view every single look individually when it's being shot at such an annoying angle that barely gives you anything to see?

Clever changed, very good direction of the house.

 

[Laritournelle]

loved the gold jewellery, the crisp trousers and of course the shoes!!! Philo knows exactly what a modern woman wants to wear.

 

[TaylorBinque]

Celine is now the "it" house. Love the color block dress as well as the gold jewelry. Perfection!

 

[Crying Diamonds]

It looks great but it looks like the best pieces aren't properly shown which is a tad annoying.
Awful way of showing.
I'll reserve judgement until I can see the collection properly.

 

[SlovesNY]

Wow I'm impressed, indeed the best resort collection I've seen...

 

[lola rose]

I think one word is enough - PEFRECTION! I love, love , love it!!!

 

[supertrooper]

Really glad to see that there isn't much camel / beige hues represented here, refreshing resort collection.

This is quite good, the photos are awful though...

I've realized Phoebe (and her team) made some versions of that beautiful bag she showed for her first collection. I guess it's too soon to say something like this, but I feel it's becoming a signature piece of the house. That bag is so good, it has a lot of identity and in a way it sums up what Céline is now.

Phoebe is great, her vision is great... In barely two seasons she's made of Céline one of the most interesting fashion houses right now. That's difficult, she has achieved it and I guess she'll continue offering such good shows. I hope that at least. Oh, I looooove her.

 

[Uemarasan]

Magnificent. The gold pieces are a great introduction of accessories to her vision of minimalism. They make perfect sense: simple luxury.

 

[mikeijames]

forget jil forget michael. any smart working woman with means should buy this ENTIRE collection. seriously, this is made for the wardrobe-purchasing type of woman. they look so perfect the way they are styled here, but would look amazing incorporated into a modern woman's wardrobe. not one throwaway piece in this bunch. and seriously, phoebe may have single-handedly brought back the "it" bag.

 

[Mathewthew]

I love it, I dont know y ?! The fabrics the colours the cut of the clothes are so clean but strong....
I know the sales of celine is excellent from what I've read on internet. Thaat's just great. Nth exaggerated, just every women wants.
