Arguably one of the lesser-known French designer brands is Céline—and we’re not talking Céline as in Dion, but you all already knew that. Housed under the umbrella of the Louis Vuitton Möet Hennessey powerhouse, Céline offers luxury apparel with clean lines with feminine simplicity.
French women are known for their simplistic style and for choosing quality over quantity when putting together their wardrobes, and perhaps they are on to something here. Céline can be pricey (cotton skirts often retail between $600 and $1500), but when you buy Céline you buy a piece that you can wear for years.
No need to pay retail however. This week’s vintage Céline piece at www.wardrobetrailer.com is a cotton skirt of perfect weight for summer—not too thin and not too thick. Wardrobe Trailer was lucky enough to acquire this piece--vintage Céline can be very hard to track down nowadays, as Céline currently is only offered in the United States in New York and Miami, and doesn’t often make its way over to the West Coast.
We could totally picture Amanda Seyfried’s character, Sophie, wearing a skirt just like this in Letters to Juliet (granted she was in Verona, but hey why not be an American wearing French when in Italy?). If you liked the costumes in this film, be sure to check out this week’s vintage Céline piece. On a side note about Letters to Juliet...why did the writers have Sophie and Charlie quote Hamlet instead of Romeo and Juliet when the movie was supposed to be about Romeo and Juliet? But we digress...
