Celine Resort 2013 Collection

Since Phoebe Philo's run at Celine, there's no question that her accessories have become a status symbol for the mobile woman. Whenever I'm frolicking around New York City you can't make it a block up in both the Upper East and Upper West Side without spotting a luggage bag. Oh the glory! This time around for resort she is introducing a new fold-over ladylike tote that adds a little edge with the more structured silhouette. Favoring the Celine signature staple "leather" which continues to be the most important piece to complete each look in this collection. It was cut into stripes for t-shirts and used on coats with horizontal panels that would unzip to create different silhouettes. Python, leopard, and polka-dots featured as patches on cashmere sweaters, chiffon trousers, coats, and scarfs appeared wrapped around shorts or veiled into white fabrics. The must have piece for the Celine gal that lives in us fashion insiders are the wide legged trousers with the deep striped color blocked hem. Those in the know will instantly peg them as Celine. And now the drooling and swooning begins!
