This exceptional runway dress from Céline´s Winter 2016 collection exemplifies Phoebe Philo´s ability to merge restrained modernity with rare artisanal spectacle. Crafted in fluid black silk with a clean silhouette, the dress is defined by its integrated crystal belt- an opulent, sculptural embelilishment permanently constructed into the garment. The belt, composed of hand-applied crystals and beads in subtle tonal contrasts, forms an organic chain motif around the waist. Presented on the runway as a statement of quiet luxury elevated to couture-level execution, this piece originally retailed at 16,000 EUR, underscoring its rarity and craftsmanship. Size FR38
