Selecting a mobile, the centerpiece of the nursery, is not really about your baby's preference of what they want to set their blurry-eyed gaze upon. After all, yours are the eyes that are focused and discerning.

Here, we take notes from the runway through the lens of the nursery. For the Céline F/W15 show, there were several child-like motifs to draw upon that we think would be right at home in the baby's room, including the hand-drawn prints inspired by children's book illustrations, and the oversized fur pom-poms dangling from the shoulders of the models like plush Calder mobiles. The shocks of electric blue and crimson applied with a graphic touch throughout the collection are just what is suggested for baby's developing vision. Also on the Calder tip - the models' metal earrings - tiny wire sculptures - and the animal drawings and prints bring to mind the Cirque Calder mini circus. Same goes for the duvet draped over a model's shoulders, like a luxe lion tamer's cape.

If a Calder is not an option for the baby's room, we think a DIY version can be rewarding and beautiful too for those with ambition. We also like the delicately minimal mobile from Atelier D'Exercices (bonus: very little assembly required). Also part of our selection of nursery picks, is a black Icelandic sheepskin; hand-drawn wallpaper from the legendary Florence Broadhurst, depicting a stampede of wild horses; a beautifully illustrated alphabet book of animals by Celestino Piatti; a drumming teddy from our favorite German plush toy maker Steiff, and baby quilt that picks up on the rosy checkerboard runway floor.
