Winter layers should do more than keep you warm—they should elevate you. Enter the funnel neck: a silhouette that frames the face with intention, shields you from the cold, and brings an instant sense of composure to whatever you’re wearing (even on the five-minute, out-the-door mornings).
The Nina Nieves Celerina Faux Fur Coat embodies that balance. Plush yet polished, sculptural yet soft, it carries the season’s most coveted shape with quiet confidence.
A Brief History of the Neckline (and Why It Still Feels Modern)
The funnel neck has deep sartorial roots. Its rise in the 1950s arrived during a moment obsessed with structure—clean lines, architectural silhouettes, and silhouettes that made dressing feel intentional. Couture houses created collars that lifted gently from the neckline, forming a refined “frame” that offered both elegance and warmth without the need for layers.
Designers like Cristóbal Balenciaga and Hubert de Givenchy turned outerwear into sculpture: precise proportions, thoughtful construction, and a sense of understated power.
Hollywood took it from runway to iconography. Think Audrey Hepburn, her coats crisp and luminous, proving that a raised collar can be both effortless and transformative. The funnel-neck’s spirit resurfaced again in late-’90s minimalism—sleek coats, clean lines, and an ease that still defines modern dressing.
Why the Celerina Coat Belongs in That Lineage
Celerina carries the heritage forward but softens it for today. The silhouette keeps its face-framing intention, but the texture—plush faux fur—introduces warmth, tactility, and modern ease. It’s refinement without rigidity; comfort without compromise.
This is outerwear designed for real life: movement, momentum, and moments that call for quiet drama. When you slip into Celerina, you’re stepping into decades of design history—reimagined for the woman who leads with presence, knows her power, and deserves a winter uniform that meets her there.
