The new season Céline campaign images have landed. And Jesus Christ are they phenomenal. It was hard to imagine how Phoebe Philo and Juergen Teller would top those beautiful summer ads, where Daria Werbowy sat nonchalantly on a retro sun lounger (or emerging from the end of a bath wearing diamonds), furry Birkenstocks on her feet and that casual, androgynous bob floating in the warm LA breeze. Yes, that hair cut which sparked a hundred imitations almost immediately. But of course Philo and Teller have done it, gone one bigger, one better. That’s their job. 

So here it is; your new beauty look for autumn. You won’t need much, just some cream ribbon and a gigantic pair of specs. Then it’s a clean top knot positioned high in the hair, complete with a Minnie Mouse bow and mannish, statement specs, (an addition which makes me outrageously happy as I am  verging on blind and wear glasses by default not choice). All this and a very minimal make-up look to match. How very Céline.

Here’s to you, Phoebe and Juergen and Daria, for putting cutesy bows and glasses at the forefront of cool once again. And breathing new life into the tired top knots of the world.
