Celine Resort 11

After a long long day yesterday of watching everyones garment presentations at uni all I needed was something to cleanse and clean my visual palette. The answer arrived in the form of me realising that the Celine Resort 11 lookbook was now on Style.com. Yet again Phoebe Philo has given us elegant, modern, intelligent design that is also thoroughly wearable, timeless and strong. Overall there was a hint of seventies elegance and nineties simplicity, although on the whole it is distinctly now.

The clean shapes and the spare palette of the black and white looks are thoroughly refreshing without being clinical or boring.

I think it's possibly the browns that give me the seventies vibe, and they give the collection a warmth as well as tying in with some of the brighter pops of colour.
I'm big on blanket-esque outerwear at the moment - think ponchos, capes etc. And it is surprisingly hard to come across decent examples in New Zealand. This spare cream one with simple Tricolore stripes is perfection.

Not to mention the delicate blue prints in loose, simple shapes.
