Paris seems to be the hub of everything important in fashion, it's the home of couture after all. Paris being the romantic classic it goes hand in hand with fashion, you want to get lost in both of them and fall in love. Away from all of those dreams you have to really look and question the continuity of it all, is Parisian fashion genuine?
Céline the prime example of French fashion, or not? Here you've got a brand with headquarters and heritage in France being driven by Phoebe Philo who's also been known for her work at Chloé. Born and raised in Britain by British parents Phoebe was only born in Paris, now working from her studio based in Cavendish Square London do we question her being creative director of Céline?
Honestly I think that to say because it is not created in France its not a genuinely French piece is nonsense, all you need to do is look at Phoebe's work and instantly those thoughts will be dismissed. I see her work and smart and elegant yet romantic and fantasy, basically something I'd expect from anything which was labelled 'French' or 'Parisian', I think she's really done well to bring life into Céline and bring back some of the love it dearly desired. If anything I'd have to congratulate her on creating something so magical and giving me a true vision of 'Parisian Chic'.
