Celine SS12

I know it is a bit late to talk about this collection, but right now I really feel like I want to write something about it. Well, I believe that this collection has so much genius! The fabrics, the shapes, the silhouette is really what redefines the minimalistic aesthetic of Celine. Phoebe Philo created a wardrobe for every woman that cares about her appearance but does not want to scream about it. It is basically the classic white shirt-black pants- black jacket in a whole brand new edition! The sculptured jackets are phenomenal reflecting a cool yet sophisticated look. The revised and redefined white shirt came longer on the back, became short sleeved, became a flattering shirtdress, took so many different appearances. And finally, the black or white pants became as flattering and cool as possible. A little shorter in length, a little wider, a better texture combination and made a brand new idea of the basic pant. Oh yes, and the shoe, the absolutely new idea of the black pump! I think that Phoebe Philo wanted to show us that basic pieces can become so interesting and innovative while keeping the minimalistic aesthetic fresh and cool.
