In just three seasons, the London-and Berlin-based architecture firm Casper Mueller Kneer has revolutionized the design of fashion shows. For Phoebe Philo, they created three distinct structures, open pavilions that connect every element — the floor and ceiling, the light and space, the plants and raw materials — which together create a conceptual architecture for the Céline shows. This brilliant trio combines a true sense of aesthetics with a rigorous design philosophy.
