Celine S/S 2013 Paris

Forums New posts
people who don't like celine have probably never seen the clothes irl
 
^ I've seen plenty and it's rare that they move me.

What I don't get about a collection like this isn't so much why it does appeal to people, but how you can paint what Philo does as some woman-friendly liberated approach to styling. Do these clothes look comfortable? Yes. Do they look like they'll be flattering to most people? Not really. Therein lies the challenge for me. How can what you do be considered women-friendly if it poses a challenge to a lot of women?

The shoes.....have got to be a joke. That's what I'm telling myself.
 
I don't find it challenging one bit.. but then I've never really been into high heels (that's what we're talking about, right?), if anything I find that challenging, I'd fall from a height of approximately 1.90 cms, no thanks. :lol:

I can definitely see how it may not be flattering for certain body types though, but then that's not exclusive of this particularly silhouette/footwear, I'd say most collections need real-life adaptation either when they go into production or with the client's own styling.
 
There are some great concepts but the craftsmanship seems a little weak (or maybe just at first glance?). I also don't like the pants and shoes.
 
Great collection! I'm assuming it was inspired by pyjamas, and the ease and function of garments such as this. I loved the way she combined all her elements, it was very chic.

The accessories were horrific, but made sense in keeping with the aesthetic of the show.

Overall an interesting collection, but as many others have said, her past collections have been much more interesting. I still prefer Resort 2013 over this.
 
I like it. I find it better than last season.
Those shoes are fugly and should be burned.
I bet they will be like two grand as well.

Oh no no, the shoes I can't take seriously enough to critique. Flats, heels, they're all silly. :lol:

I meant more the clothes, which seem like they could be difficult to translate once they're on a hanger in a store. Aesthetically I definitely see why this appeals, but there are things that leave me scratching my head as to how they're designed with real women in mind.
 
^ Well it's kind of a fashionista's mantra: The more it stands out the better. Don't really care.
 
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
PARIS
By Jo-Ann Furniss

Once, you worried for the Céline woman. She would stand there perfectly put-together—you imagined she never sat, that would be too undisciplined and unruly, and it would ruin the line of her clothes. She was anxious for the world to see how brilliant she was; yes, she knew about Bauhaus, both the movement and the band, in depth—had you not seen the color-blocking on her coat or her perfectly manicured iPod? It seemed she existed in a white box, not in the more rococo confines of Avenue Foch. Unlike Fragonard's lady in The Swing, she would not be showing her knickers anytime soon.

Really, there was nothing to worry about. The Céline woman who emerged at that Avenue Foch venue today was somewhat different: stylish, yet slovenly even, elegant in a dishabille way. Yes, you could imagine her sitting down; in fact, you could imagine her sprawled out on a couch. And the Céline woman was all the better for it.

A mood of looseness (in both senses of the term) and ease has been permeating many of the shows this season. And yet how the designer Phoebe Philo handled it was distinctly her own. As much was apparent as the first silhouette emerged, black, slightly oversize, trousers slightly half mast, not too perfect. And then there were the shoes: black fur-lined sandals in a Birkenstock vein, and that fur looked like mink with the models' glossy red toenails nestled in it. Perverse, like Méret Oppenheim's furry teacup. The track to accompany all of this? Depeche Mode's "Useless."

The shoes were key to this collection: furry, witty, unhinged. In a mostly black and white offering, they disrupted any notion of sobriety. Predominantly flat—yet with some also rather remarkable fur-covered stilettos—they were fuzzy flashes of color, fun, and oddness.

As for the clothes, there was something unfinished in those raw edges, or the backs of tops with excess material, or the unfinished seams; there was also a nod to Belgian deconstruction of the nineties. The slouchy, flat-front trousers with their crotches carelessly low, the trenchcoats slung over short dresses with full furry slippers—there was something of the walk of shame about the lot, as well as the nineties up-all-night attitude, when Helmut Lang clothes would be flashed and trashed in clubs. And yet it all really felt like Céline and Phoebe Philo.

Unlike most, this reviewer never imagined Philo as the Céline woman—well, who really could be? She was just so perfect, and not all authors of novels are their characters in any case. The designer had concocted an extreme and immaculate character for her collections, somebody to aspire to for her audience. Yet today she added a new chapter to her story, and it was one you couldn't help but think had sprung from real life. Philo defined her collection as being about "togetherness, beauty, friendship, and a journey." In this journey the Céline woman was humanized. For this viewer, it was the most compelling Céline collection yet.

Luxurious artic Spa flipflop at Céline ? Nice move ...
Im sure we'll see a lot for casual errands at the grocery ...

I like thos heels that look like your foot is naked ! Feels a bit like Margiela in the early nineties. Or at least something he could do ... It's also something I feel is very surrealist 1930s. Sure those ones, though, will be in a LOT of editorials (better than the Birkenstock if you have to put Celine shoes in the editorials) ... And the furry shoes, too ... Very good to shoot a naked portrait, or to wear with casual jeans and a silk white shirt ...

But seriously I've been very distracted by the shoes ... So I hadn't seen the collection actually ... It's very comfy, isn't it ?
 
This shoes looks like chicken to me.

I probably won't remember anything else from this collection because I was so focus on this hideous shoes.
 
I miss the 2010/2011 Celine, this is a hot mess, the Resort 2013 collection is VASTLY superior to this.
 
Better than last season. But it`s still missing that spark.


Those shoes....
