SS 2018 White Button down shirt with lace details

Céline
By Phoebe Philo
Spring/Summer 2018 White Viscose Shirt with Openwork Lace Details
Size 34 — fits up to 38 / M

Rare piece from Phoebe Philo’s final Spring/Summer 2018 collection for Céline, this white button-down shirt perfectly captures the intellectual femininity and refined ease that defined her vision for the house. Cut in fluid white viscose, the silhouette is relaxed yet deliberate, with dropped shoulders, a softly oversized line, and an effortless drape that gives the piece its understated strength.

What makes this shirt especially striking is the intricate openwork lace insert framing both the front and back in a dramatic V shape The contrast between the clean, almost masculine shirting shape and the delicacy of the ajouré detailing creates that unmistakable Céline tension between purity, sensuality, and modernity. The result is a piece that feels both architectural and romantic, minimal yet deeply expressive.

Timeless, highly collectible, and emblematic of the final Phoebe Philo era at Céline, this is the kind of piece that works equally well as an everyday statement or as part of a carefully curated archival wardrobe.
