A fresh vision of sheer femininity reigned at Celine for SS16.
By Susan Devaney
Loose pleats, lace embellishments and lavish construction formed the basis of Phoebe Philo's new vision for spring. Transforming the Tennis Club de Paris into a primary-colour space with tents by Fos, packed dirt floors and a serious fashion crowd was the ideal set up.
Philo gave a great lesson in contrasting colours and construction. Moving from sheer lace slips to structured outerwear, suiting-like plaid and black leather dresses, it was femininity with a focus on strong formations. Long ribbed knit dresses in dusty orange are sure to be a sartorial hit amongst the fashion powerhouses come spring. Exaggerated sleeves continue to gain steam as the trend of the season and overcoats came in a multitude of hues.
