Cathy Horyn: Céline S/S 13

published on 21 May 2021

‘That was the mysterious, sort of elusive quality about Phoebe’s work...it wasn’t easy to break them down, it was very much a gut reaction to things.’

The esteemed fashion critic Cathy Horyn revisits her chosen standout runway moment from the Phoebe Philo era at Céline. Held in a bourgeois Paris apartment, Horyn frames the collection as an escape from the world of high fashion, presenting a modern and sensual proposal for Philo's devoted clientele. Breaking down the authority Philo had over fashion during this period, Horyn considers how the designer's absence from fashion is still felt in womenswear today.

‘That was the mysterious, sort of elusive quality about Phoebe’s work...it wasn’t easy to break them down, it was very much a gut reaction to things.’
