Celine by Ivana Omazic FW07 Paneled Overknee Leather Boots

Paneled leather boots cut to an overknee length, drawn from Celine's Fall Winter 2007 collection under Ivana Omazic. Omazic arrived as the house's first female creative director, steering it toward a more feminine register and a deliberately anti-retro stance. That sensibility reads here in the sculptural paneling, which segments the leather along the leg into clean, architectural divisions. As an artifact of her brief, often overlooked tenure, the pair documents a transitional chapter at Celine before the house's direction shifted again.
