THE ROMANCE OF THE SEASON...








And romance between Fashion and Art continues for this season, as in Celine spring 2014 collection, inspired in the Oeuvre of American Abstract Expressionist Franz Kline (1910-1962) from where designer Phoebe Philo, creative director from 2008, took the particular brush strokes to give texture to the collection, as well as from the work of the British Abstract painter and print maker Sir Howard Hodgkin (1932).

I love this collection because it is cool, easy, fun, impacting, wearable and very affordable, where the focal points are the patterned textures of giant brushstrokes, on: the tailored large T-shirts, skirts, and coats and the asymmetrical concept used in the silhouettes giving a dynamic movement to the collection.



  • "Figure Eight", by Franz Kline.





  • This two pieces outfit seems painted by abstract artist Franz Kline, on the Tank Top, and by Howard Hodgkin on the skirt.

  • I found a Japanese influence in the silhouettes in this collection, the large T- shirts, inspired in kimono costume, shaped over striped sunray pleats skirts.

  • The color palette of this collection, composed of 40 outfits, is composed of primary and secondary colors in giant strokes textures, passing to neutrals, (Black and white), in color- blocking and monochromatic outfits at the end.




  • Details how, the cutout metal rimmed shaped, used like hand grip in the handbags,  jumped to the belts and  to the outfits, revealing the contrasting tunics layered underneath, that in mostly cases ending on beautiful 'cheesecloth' skirts.



  • The Asymmetrical concept it is present too in the original brushstroke style makeup.




  • Watch the video and notes the abstract brightly colored, blocky seats, before of the fashion show, that I guess was an introduction for guests, about what they were ready to see on this collection:
