Céline's Creative Genius


Two words, one name: Phoebe Philo. During her time as creative director of Chloé in the early 2000's, she worked the fashion world into a frenzy for her high-waisted wide leg pants. Now as creative director of Céline, Philo has single-handedly sparked a minimalist revolution. Philo's new expertly tailored capsule line, 'Five Perfect Trousers,' will be permanently available with seasonal tweaks to style and fabric weight in the five silhouettes every woman should have. From left to right:

The pleated tapered leg: This stretchy, comfortable style hangs on the hip and falls slightly off the leg. The new skinny-pant silhouette.
The cropped tube leg: Loving the ankle-grazing length—the hottest silhouette du jour.
The high-waisted wide leg: A Philo classic, and very 70's.
The tapered leg: The classic slim fit updated with a slightly lower, more masculine waistline
The men's straight leg: Still elegant. Worn informally to achieve instant tomboy chic.
