"The A.W.A.K.E. woman is preppy, quirky, elegant, simple, dreamy, and strong; but also fragile and sexy—but in a weird Japanese way (laughing). She is intelligent, modest, perceptive, sensitive, and chilled, but secretly passionate, sincere and honest, chic and sharp, and busy. Clothes are not important to her—beauty and effortlessness are." - Natalia Alaverdian
Tasteful, Elegant, and Cozy
"One of the reasons why I try to use fabrics and cuts that don't go out of fashion is because I like the idea of women buying the clothes and then...I don't know what the word is...cherish sounds over-emotional for a relationship with a piece of clothing...but for a woman to feel proud, satisfied, comfortable and powerful in them, to wear them and get on with their lives." - Phoebe Philo
I am blown away by Celine's Fall 2013 Collection!
At this show guests were given a trend book when they entered the space. Inside were images of fluff, clouds, yarn, paintings from the 15th century, and pictures of statues derrières. These were Pheobe Philo's clues for her Fall collection.
Not only is Philo very talented, but her eye for details are amazing. Every piece is thought out, clean and crisp. Her fabric choices, wool, cotton, mink and check tweeds, left me watching this show in awe. Overall it was Elegant, but Minimal. Modern, but Retro. Over sized, but sexy. Everything a successful Collection should Have!
