Celine Pre-Fall 2013

[HeatherAnne]

The Santa Claus belts have gotten so big this season that they are now Paul Bunyan size. But all the other accessories are divine, that slim square leather bag Collection looks great, look forward to seeing more.

I don't know? Isn't it too soon to be repeating looks from previous collections? Her first Celine show was such a standout that everything else just seems underwhelming imo.

give me all the bags!

The clothes are ok, a bit too CDG in flavor for my taste. I really miss the sleekness and freshness of her first collection for Celine, which was her best to date.

I am in love.

I'd like to see more, but personally I am very unsure about those Santa Clause belts.

Beyond collection!!!!

My god, this is too beautiful!
Those leather pieces are superb! Love the play on masculinity with those boyish suits at the beginning.
As usual, the accessories and shoes are the some of the key pieces here. Those black and white creepers-looking shoes are making me salivate.
Oh, and I can't forget that there's a fantastic fur coat in there that has my name written all over it.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE, and that fur coat is AWESOME!

This is a gorgeous collection

Phenomenal. I enjoy it more than the S/S collection to be honest - nearly every piece in this collection just speaks to me and it is pushing beyond simply being minimal - there is quite a bit going on here!

I hate everything.. it looks very amateur. The accessories (apart from the platform boots) are all divine though.

 

[Machinegumm]

omg, I need all of the huge belts and heeled platform shoes




to be thrown in a f*kking fire.


There are some looks and silhouettes that I like, but most of the set just makes me think of the amish.

This is truly hideous. After such a beautiful and sensuous SS collection, this is just awful. The proportions are strange, the combination of textures is weird, and the styling is just unflattering and unappealing.

I agree with all who said they miss the sleek and modern Celine collections by Phoebe. This is far too kitschy for my liking.

Besides, this lacks the luxe factor for me. Everything looks a little, dare I say, cheap? She isn't even using leather anymore from what I can see. I have experience selling Celine and they have a clever way of marketing their "leather" pieces (RTW) as leather, whereas in reality, they are made out of made-made fibres like polyurethane. The quality is dropping with each season, especially in these Pre-Fall / Resort collections.

She needs to tone down the quirky as not to appear looking silly. Otherwise, a pretty decent pre-fall collection! Albeit, not lazy!

I agree completely. I was quite disappointed by S/S (and indeed, I had to stop and think what exactly that collection was comprised of, as it didn't leave a lasting impression) but I think this is much better. I quite like all of the dresses and skirts, and, for some reason, the platforms. I even rather like the massive belts that no one seems to care for.
