Céline by Phoebe Philo Resort 2017 Floral Ruffle Sleeve Dress

From Phoebe Philo’s Resort 2017 collection for Céline, which juxtaposed restrained silhouettes with more expressive floral treatments and unconventional construction. This ivory dress features a softly faded floral print beneath a sheer outer layer, contrasted by dramatically gathered ruffle sleeves that create sculptural volume around the shoulders. The delicate, almost washed-out surface gives the floral motif a deliberately muted quality while retaining Philo’s precise approach to proportion and form.
