Setting the tone as the show’s opening look, this oversized trench coat introduces the collection’s proposition of outsized outerwear in a muted, monochrome palette.

It appears to be a moderate reworking of Vivienne Westwood’s “Witches” trench from her World’s End collection in 1983 into a less outré, more accessible piece of outerwear: the original’s winged shoulders are turned into practical three-quarter length sleeves with snaps.

Along with the general silhouette, most of the original’s features are retained: A wide albeit more defined lapel collar, a long self-tie belt, slanted side pockets, and large belt loops on the back atop a high vent. Even the original ivory color is kept, yet rendered in light cotton faille rather than the original waterproofed cotton. Céline discreetly adds a button loop on the lapel notch, closing onto a silver button concealed under the opposite collar.

Most of the garments in the same collection, this coat included, are factory-pressed with crushed creases; perhaps hinting at their provenance as seemingly worn and reworked articles of clothing.
