Everyone has been anticipating what Phoebe Philo would do at Celine after the raptures the pre-collection got. She could have fallen into pulling out the old Chloe tricks she played that won her many hardcore fans but instead, respecting Celine as a slightly more grown-up brand. So in a restrained palette of camel, black, white and touches of navy, she made lines clean and simple without fault yet never losing interest as there were perfectly fitted black leather tees, leather A-line skirts, high waisted trousers and shirts.
