The competition this AW16-17 season is tough, but Céline is in it to win it

It may have had something to do with the location, the Tennis Club de Paris, or the stadiumstyle seating lining the runway. Perhaps it was the sporty flashes of bright colour, or those practical tunics worn over lean trousers that showed ready-set-go slits at their kick-flared hems. And was that fashion’s take on the Olympic rings embellished around the waist of that slinky dress? We doubt Phoebe Philo would be so literal. But whether Rio de Janeiro was on her mind or not, we’re calling this collection a gold medal winner.
