With Phoebe Philo in line to take over the top creative job, Ivana Omazic's latest collection for Celine is something like a last hurrah.

It's just as vibrant as the season's blooming flowers, with bright handbags, chic dresses, and other stylish fashion choices.

And what better model to head up the colorful spring/summer advertising campaign than striking redhead Karen Elson?

Karen has a long history with the French fashion house. The British beauty starred in their last fall/winter advertising campaign and their spring/summer commercials in 2008.

I love the way that photographer Bruce Weber has played on the contrasts here. Karen's luscious auburn locks clash delightfully with the peacock blue satchel she's carrying.

If that snakeskin stunner is any indication of the purses to come, I can't wait to see the rest of the spring/summer line!
