Flared dress in textured sable
Céline • Spring-Summer 2013
-
For Spring 2013, Phoebe Philo delivers a noticeably more relaxed and laid-back collection at Céline relative to her previous offerings.
Satins, crepes, and other fluid fabrics were worked into taut twists and knots, and finished with raw edges to evoke a sense of refined nonchalance.
Shown in Look 15, this deep navy dress is cut from heavy textured viscose sablé – a substantial and highly fluid fabric that lends itself well to the close fit of the bodice and the dramatic volume of the skirt. A closer look at the edges of this dress reveal raw-cut finishing, becoming more pronounced at the skirt’s hems as thread-heavy fringes.
This dress was prominently featured in Céline’s campaign for that season, worn by house muse Daria Werbowy sitting on an outdoor pool chaise. The imagery, lensed by frequent collaborator Juergen Teller, has become highly iconic and synonymous with Philo’s tenure for the French maison.
