Céline Jakarta, Fall 2012
Love the mirrored reflective podiums and all the rainbow hues it reflects.

Celine becomes the most fast forward high-fashion boutique in Jakarta. When other boutiques still present the sale and Christmas-themed window display, Celine already puts the cruise collection theme on its display. 'Ruins' of a building and image of tropical plants become the perfect background for the Celine Cruise 2012 collection. What I like best is the flower print skirt I put on this post. This is the most beautiful skirt I ever see.
Designed to uphold the respect for fine craftsmanship, rare raw materials, research and innovation the house is known for, Célines latest store on Londons Mount Street features parquetry marble floors (comprising twelve different stone variations), a pebblecrete small leather goods bar, ceramic pots sporting fiddle leaf figs and interior walls clad in clear grey marmorino plaster. The ceilings are rendered with raw concrete and covered with geometric suspended LED light boxes that automatically dim and brighten depending on the time of day. The space is littered with an assortment of commissioned objects and sculptural furniture pieces by Danish artist FOS, aka Thomas Poulsen who is represented by Philos art-dealer husband Max Wigram. This more tactile approach will be extended to new store openings in Paris, New York, Tokyo, Shanghai and Dallas over the next couple of years.
