Ad Campaign Spring 2016 Celine by Pheobe Philo Runway Look 38 Jersey Dress w Cut Out Open Back
- The twin of this dress walked the runway for the Spring 2016 Celine show as Look 38.
- It was made under the creative direction of Phoebe Philo.
- This is a fantastically documented dress. It was used in the ad campaign that season, shot for various editorials and was seen on multiple occasions being worn and documented on various people.
- Phoebe Philo told Vogue that "It's about taking her out of urban life and putting her feet on the sand. It's where I long to be, more and more. I am somebody who is interested in how clothes makes us feel and and how we behave in different places. I thought if you were travelling for a year what would you need to take with you?" Vogue noted the jersey dresses especially saying "long fluid jersey dresses with high waisted bodices and chaste-medieval scooped necks."
- The dress is made out of one of her signature jerseys and is a remarkable colour that is best described as perhaps a pastel peach with a touch of sand.
- The jersey makes it fluid over the body and easy to travel with.
- The shoulders are soft, and the sleeves are long with hidden set zippers at the end of each cuff.
- As noted in the vogue description, the front scooped with a band of the same fabric, edging and neckline. This goes around to the back where long ties extend out and tie as you wish.
- The back is scooped in a fantastic rounded form to leave a bare expanse of skin showing. I love the sensuality of the ties draping over the skin.
- The waist is banded and at the back there is a little unexpected suede rectangle that snaps over the top of the zipper and is highlighted with two gold studs.
- The skirt falls from under there to between the ankle and knee depending on your height. It's gathered in around the band at the waist and then has quite a bit of jersey so it move spectacularly around you as you move. You can see this in the reference video.
- This is a highly collectible and a fabulous piece from Phoebe's time at the label.
- The dress is online but beautifully finished inside. It closes with a hidden set back zipper, and then that suede piece snaps in place over that the ties tie behind the neck. Each cuff has a hidden set zipper. I see one tiny smudge near hem otherwise the dress appears to have been worn very little if at all
