Céline Prefall 2010 Bag Collection

Phoebe Philo is fast rising as one of my most watched designers ever since her debut collection for Céline shows such great promise and high taste. I love what she did to instill effortless chic for her ready to wear pieces that is feminine without trying too hard. But most of all, I am a huge fan of her bag designs. Always understated and contemporary with a minimalist design direction that caters to individuals who appreciates luxury without wanting to be excessive.

Phoebe's Prefall 2010 Bag Collection continues in this direction and they certainly do not disappoint. I am already smitten quite a number of designs from the collection. These new bags have simple lines and non frilly details that seem to cast off any gender stereotyping. I can easily see these bags work for a girl as much as for a guy (Of course, subjected to the correct proportions against a guy's build. Will check them out to further ascertain when they arrive in stores in a few month's time:-P).

My top pick has to be the tote bag which has evolved from Spring Summer 2010's swirling design, to a now more geometric lines. Another is the black duffel bag with red coloured edges that comes with a shoulder strap. I am also loving the grey python skin version which ooze utmost sophistication. Notice the gold square metal studs on the handles which is unique, a glamourous bag without overbearing. There is also a sportier version with fold over sides that makes the perfect day or gym bag.

Can't wait for a Céline bag to join my bag collection.
