Nordstrom Launches Céline Pop-Up at Flagship Store in Downtown Seattle
It will feature four exclusive designs, and you can see them all here.
By Andrew Hoge February 19, 2018
Last week Nordstrom launched its latest designer collaboration: a Céline pop-up boutique curated by Olivia Kim, vice president of Creative Projects.
The newest installment of the Pop-In @ Nordstrom concept, designed with minimalist cream-colored shelving and overlapping green floor prints, is open to the public through May 29. It will then head up north to set up “shop” at the Nordstrom Pacific Center in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Fans of the Paris-based luxury house will enjoy a curated mix of ready-to-wear, jewelry, shoes and handbags from the Spring/Summer 2018 collection, including four items exclusive to Nordstrom.
Guests at last week’s private launch party got to snag a first look at these exclusives, which included classic leather Multikeyrings, Signature City Eye sunglasses — springtime-ready in baby blue — and a stunning pair of lace-up sneakers in green and white.
Prosecco cocktails and one-bite pieces of sushi were passed out as VIP customers and picture-perfect style bloggers ooh-ed and aah-ed over the most coveted exclusive of the evening: the Solo Clutch in tan lambskin.
Diehard Céline fans will no doubt want to add these pieces to their personal collections as the era of Phoebe Philo comes to an end.
After the preview party on Thursday, Ms. Kim and co-president Pete Nordstrom hosted an intimate dinner at Matt’s in the Market that included special guests Rowan Blanchard, Petra Collins and Gia Coppola.

Moxie on Monday: Let It Take Root Before You Reveal It
Some things grow best in the dark
We live in a world that celebrates the loud, the visible, the shared. Social media turns our lives into highlight reels, with ideas and dreams posted before they’ve even taken root. But the most powerful growth happens in the quiet. Life-changing ideas often rise from solitude — like mushrooms, meant to grow in the dark,…

It could have been the fact that I was lounging in a comfy recliner, staring out of the open-air room at the Four Seasons Resort Maui, in Hawaii, listening to birds chirping, surrounded by exotic plants and palm trees. Perhaps it was the calming outrigger canoe ride I had taken from the shores of Wailea…

Longing alone won’t carry us to freedom
