Backpack dress in light cotton gabardine
Céline • Fall-Winter 2018
-
Utilitarian details cut through the monotony of crisp papery cotton gabardine on this trench-style dress to yield an offbeat yet functional garment.
Beside the pointed collar, D-rings buckles secure the layered front onto the shoulders, which fall into pinched seams through the underarm-vented sleeves.
Conspicuously placed on the back is a large zipped compartment, almost resembling a backpack. Within it, an elastic band is attached on either side of the interior to combat bulk. A long self-tie belt is threaded just underneath.
Securing this belt towards the front, as shown in Céline’s FW 2018 lookbook, results in a sort of buckled bra layered atop the dress, practically eliminating the need for a similar undergarment.
Designed by Phoebe Philo’s studio after her departure from Céline, this piece is one among a series of coats and dresses bearing the same backpack detail.
