Above and below are accessories, leather goods and shoes I definitely wouldn’t say no to for this spring and summer. Especially not the large white “pillow” hand bag, nor the “flap pillow” clutch in black. These bags making me think about Pierre Paulin’s Canape sofa in leather, or Vittorio Introini designed chairs for Saporiti from the1970s. Anyway, the suede clutch from Resort 2016 isn’t bad either.
Bold, new proportions at Céline Resort 2016. Very Margiela-ish.
Six pair of shoes I wouldn’t mind in my shoe closet for this fall; black leather boots with wooden cone heel from Givenchy, light beige faux-leather boot from Stella McCartney, black kitten heel from Louis Vuitton, beige and black slingback from Chanel, white sneaker from Céline and woven leather slip-on sneaker from Bottega Veneta.
The editorial ‘Fresh Treasures’ features Karolin Wolter photographed by Zoe Ghertner for Vogue UK August 2015. Stylist Lucinda Chambers has styles Wolter in pieces from Miu Miu, J.W. Anderson, Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Céline – all the top covetable pieces from this up and coming season.
These beautiful irregular earring from the French house’s fall line was featured on The Wall a while ago, in one of the Hottest Arrivals I made, and I can’t stop thinking about them. From Céline.
Céline Fall and Winter 2015 showed on International Women’s Day in Paris to the soundtrack of Brazilian musician Caetano Veloso. “The best part of this job is finding out more about myself, it gets deeper and deeper into the roots” said Phoebe Philo after the show. “Dressed-up-ness, I was never in the headspace to approach it before. I find glamour and sexuality awkward. When do they feel authentic? What’s real, what’s not?” The models walked on a runway made of terra-cotta tiles from a villa in Rio, which cracked as the models walked on them. And the collection? Simply fabulous.
The Winter campaign for the French house is yet again shot by Juergen Teller (with some mere exception for one or two seasons). The models are up and rising stars with barely no make-up and messy hair. Karly Loyce, Agnes Nieske, Lisa Helene Kramer, Irinia Djuranovic, and Sofie Fable Hansen are the faces you will probably see a lot more of in a near future.
The weaved, or braided, shoes from Céline’s winter collection is definitely something else. I totally dig them big time and wouldn’t mind updating my shoe wardrobe with the flat model.
Giant earrings, such as these from Céline, is unbelievably gorgeous and to pair it with turtlenecks, chunky knits or breezy fine knits, which almost make them more covetable. I want to go to Europe now, just to browse through all pre-fall collections. And maybe to shop, just maybe.
