Thanks to
Phoebe Philo who took over the reins of Céline since September 2008, the French
brand was catapulted to world-renowned status in reason of the genius of the
creative director who was then returning from a two-year hiatus taking care of
her daughter. As a matter of fact, after modernizing Chloé for three years (2005-2008)
and creating one of the most iconic bags of all time (Paddington), she renewed
Céline’s image and artistic direction by incorporating considerable key
utilitarian pieces and practical tailoring resulting in what seems to be the
first of many acclaimed collections. Today considered as one of the pillars of minimalism,
she is established as this brilliant, hard-working and sensible human being. In
fact, she received the Designer of the Year award at the British Fashion Awards
in 2010 and two years later managed to design another It bag (Luggage Tote) as
well as creating press positive (read ecstatic) ready-to-wear collections.
However,
for the first time, we, at Stylx.net, are confused about the mink-fur heels
that were seen at the designer’s spring/summer 2013 collection. Some say it was inspired from Sesame Street others from the Muppets family but we have to admit they look comfy and make an obvious statement (we are winking at you Fierce Fashionista). We have to say that at
first we were more than appalled but the more you stare at them, the more they
grow on you! As for the clothing, the Céline girl has loosen up and that has
been reflected in the recurring themes black, oversize and trousers. Anyways,
whatever your opinion is, we cannot say that Philo never surprises us nor has
left us disappointed. Please let us know what do you think in the photo booth section!
