Item type Dress Size FR38 / M Accession CEL100061 Design house Celine Designer Phoebe Philo (British, 1973–) Collection Spring/Summer 2010 Material Heavy cotton gabardine Place of origin Italy
-
Shown in Phoebe Philo’s first runway show for Céline, this cross-laced dress embodies the collection’s proposition of utilitarian shapes in honest, hardwearing materials, underscored by references to military outerwear.
Constructed from sturdy camel-brown cotton gabardine, the dress features lambskin leather laces on the lace-up collar, which allows the neckline to be loosened as desired. Wide short sleeves and a sack-shaped silhouette offer ease of movement.
Faint rectangles on the front outlined by stitch holes suggest previously attached pockets; an indication of a seemingly repurposed garment.
The lace-up collar and vestiges of pockets point toward loose army smocks as a potential design inspiration, much like those worn by the British Army during World War II.
