Phoebe Philo is this weeks Designer Spotlight. She was the head designer for Chloe in 2007. This summer she showcased her debut line, Celine throughout the 2010 Resort Collections. The line is a breath of fresh air and economical pleasantry. Her designs are versatile, feminice, chic and most importantly they are great investment pieces to add flare to any wardrobe.
According to style.com the line can be, "described as woman-friendly, with lots of great-looking suits, chic cocktail dresses, and fabulous outerwear. (A cargo coat worn over a crystal-embroidered shift was a key look, and there were a pair of capes to delight the designer's longtime fans)".
I was definitely smitten with the line upon review. The pieces can be intermixed and mingled effortly with any basics a woman may already have within her closet. They are well made, great tailored and flattering pieces. The looks are very grown up and mature without being stuffy. The color palette includes incredible nude and black combinations, with hints of marine blue, navy, and utility green. Then there are the special details which truly add to the beauty of the whole line.
Philo was quoted saying, "It's not about total looks," [of her approach]. "After my break, and with Celine in various different hands these last years, it felt better for me to work on an idea of a wardrobe than too much on trends. October will be for that. The collection is about interchangeable investment pieces. I worked hard to create things that will stand the test of time."
This is a line that is definitely worth reviewing for it's beauty, ability to fit well into any Chicago woman's wardrobe, and most importantly the quality and ability for it to work with your current wardrobe.
