Item type Top Size S (Estimated) Accession CEL100499 Design house Celine Designer Phoebe Philo (British, 1973–) Collection Spring/Summer 2010 Material Bonded lambskin Place of origin Italy
-
Phoebe Philo’s Spring/Summer 2010 debut at Céline reset the house with a uniform of practical, pared-back clothes in “real” materials: crepe, gabardine, and leather, in a concise palette of camel, khaki, white, and black.
The collection’s all-black opening look was a shift dress in fluid crepe, punctuated by this cropped short sleeve top in soft lambskin leather.
Cut in a relaxed, boxy fit, the body is cut at the bustline to create a kind of yoke over the shift, adding the toughness and masculinity Philo was keen to explore in womenswear. Under those wide short sleeves, it has hidden vents for fit and mobility.
The top is made in soft lambskin that is bonded; both the face and reverse sides have the same handle and finish. Hidden snap buttons at the shoulder ensure a correct fit on the collar.
