I remember exactly where I was at that moment.
I was at work on lunch and had just caught up with my Instagram feed.
As soon as the photo loaded, I noticed the shoes. I have spectator radar and these are on platforms.
And there are gold ones and loafers and oxfords, all on platforms!
Disoriented, I look up to the hats. Are those straw hats?
And the shoulders, where are the shoulders? The shapes are sublime.
Hey, that peplum looks very Céline-esque. Oh, that buckle. It is Céline.
I honestly felt I had shared a collective 'ew-ahh' moment with the entire fashion community.
I won't say fashion history has been made, because this is a pre-collection. Phoebe will tweak the pleats, over sized silhouettes, and cinched waists to create a main collection which will most likely change the way we all dress.
If she has not already.

The big belt buckle strikes me as Galliano when he did the Marie Antoinette look both @ couture and RTW level, and the hour glass/fit and flare cut to the coats/jackets and the pleated skirts look like a variation of Dior's New Look, which consisted of a straw hat as well. Anyway just my two cents.
ReplyDeleteThe outerwear is exquisite esp. the long DB coat, and the especially especially especially the last coat pictured here.
i absolutely love your reference to dior's new look. which now seems plain as day after you mention it. now I am even more obsessed with this collection!
ReplyDeletei do remember the galliano look you brought up also. and i am reminded how much i miss that guy in fashion.
there are pieces here i would like to take. just a few. just enough.
ReplyDeletethese images would add up to a nice influence over all.
