When Celine’s AW19 collection was presented last spring, it created a buzz of excitement. Hedi Slimane changed course from his previous collection for Celine and created a selection of classics inspired by the heritage of the brand. The looks have been appropriately labeled bourgeois chic. Although most of it won’t translate well to Southern California’s weather and lifestyle, I’m picking pieces that have potential. I’ll start with a frill collar shirt layered under a classic sweater or a blazer. I doubt I’d ever have the chance to wear all three pieces together as styled on the runway. Accessories will be the best place to reference this theme. A jauntily tied scarf, thin belt, and a preppy shoulder bag would create the right vibe.

Karima, I look forward to not only seeing how you translate this look into your lifestyle, but seeing pieces that give the look without the hefty Celine price tag.
Karima
Yes. The price tag for the Celine outfit pictured is extraordinary. My calculation puts the items shown above at over $12,000, not including shoes. I understand the craftsmanship, sourcing of the finest fabrics, and so much more that goes into creating a designer collection but the look and theme from the current season can be easily replicated at a much friendlier price point.
