How To Be More Céline

Phoebe Philo confirmed this weekend that she is still the ruling grande dame of Paris Fashion Week as she unveiled a finely-tuned collection of streetwise tailoring and shimmering sequins. Whether she's heading up a universal spring/summer 2018 trend like fringing, or converting a classic street style look (see Anna Ewers in her trench coat, track pants, and sneakers) into a grown-up fashion proposition, the British designer is the master of lol-cum-hard-as-nails chic. You simply don't fuck with a Céline woman. Here's how die-hard Philo fans can get ahead of the game this autumn.

Love Your Trench Coat, Track Pants And Trainers
The street style uniform of a trench coat, trackies and sneakers isn't going out of style any time soon. Embrace 2017's style cliché, and walk head-held-high, like bombshell model Anna Ewers.

Don't Hate On The Poncho
Last season's Céline woman probably mocked her fellow holiday makers for wearing a "tent". For spring/summer 2018, she's giving up her high-cut swimsuit and opting, instead, for the cover-all. This is what to wear to ring in the New Year on the beach at Cuixmala.

For the last two years the catwalks have been awash with sulking teenagers hiding in their hoodies, huge trailing trousers and enormous coats inside of which you could shelter a small family and their fridge. But with the look now filtering down to the high streets, fashion is off again in another direction. Paris Fashion Week has been remarkable for how the Spring/Summer collections are bringing clothes back to the body, with a much closer cut to shake off the studied sha...

Dropping on NETFLIX

Our Souls At Night Jane Fonda and Robert Redford finally reunite on screen for this adaptation of Kent Haruf’s Colorado-set novel about finding love in later life. Despite having lived next to each other for years, Addie Moore (Fonda) and Louis Waters (Redford), both widowed, only get to know each other after Addie pays an unexpected visit on her neighbour. Then they set about making the most of the time they have left.

The Return Of Carpenter Jeans

Ok, they might not be the most flattering trousers to be resurrected from the Nineties fashion hall of fame, but carpenter jeans (once beloved by buzzing teens in techno fields around the M25 orbital) are back, and this time they're glam. The twinset cardigan has replaced the baggy T-shirt for spring/summer 2018, and it's punked-out heels (rather than Buffalo boots) that are inspiring now. From Balenciaga to Valentino and Stella McCartney, the workaday staple has gone uptown - here's how to wear them now.
