Christine Centenera's career in editorial fashion and celebrity styling

Christine Centenera spent a decade at Harper's Bazaar Australia before joining Vogue Australia as fashion director in 2012. The Sydney Morning Herald reported her appointment as editor-in-chief in 2022.

 

Her styling credits span major houses and magazine covers. British Vogue describes her work alongside Virgil Abloh at Louis Vuitton, notes that she styled Yeezy shows and captions a Vogue Australia story she styled with Gigi Hadid.

WARDROBE.NYC and the precise silhouette Christine Centenera favors

Centenera and designer Josh Goot founded WARDROBE.NYC in 2017. The launch offered four- or eight-piece ready-made wardrobes, and Goot described the aesthetic as practical urban minimalism.

 

British Vogue quotes Centenera describing her silhouette as ‘not fitted, just framed’ and naming Nicolas Ghesquière, Phoebe Philo, Helmut Lang and Azzedine Alaïa as designers she looks to. The same profile photographs her in a WARDROBE.NYC blazer and leggings with Bottega Veneta mules.

Where I would start with Christine Centenera's style

Start with a long coat, then add one shaped blazer and relaxed trousers. Let a fine knit or legging sit beneath the strong shoulder. Keep accessories quiet and the silhouette clear.
