Label Text:Contrasting animal prints are tempered with a white harness sling bag that gives this ensemble the elegant balance that designer Phoebe Philo is known for. The appeal of animal patterns derives from their exotic, often sexual, connotations. Céline’s fall 2015 collection verged on the maximal, and addressed Philo’s ideas about the authenticity of glamour and sexuality.
