Car coat w holster in soft felted wool
Céline • Fall-Winter 2015
-
For FW 2015, a sense of romantic glamour and playful whimsy was present at Céline, shown on styles like this car coat in plush felted fabric made of llama and sheep’s wool. Céline's touch of whimsy on this piece comes in the form of a removable holster accessory with a flap pocket, which can optionally be worn on its own as seen on other looks in the collection.
The design of the holster is reminiscent of those shown by Miu Miu in the late 1990s, worn similarly over one shoulder and above the chest, secured by straps around the waist.
Compared to Miu Miu’s bluntly utilitarian take in technical mesh with zips and buckles, Céline opts for a more refined approach, using double-face wool-cashmere trimmed with lambskin leather, and silk ribbons for straps.
A flap pocket on the thigh of the coat mirrors the holster just above it, complemented by an inseam pocket on the opposite side. Touches of color are added by way of yellow contrast-stitching, and a red button closure just below the collar.
