The new creative director, Michael Rider, emphasizes specific traits of Celine: quality, style, and timelessness. Elegance and functionality merge. The body moves along a carefully constructed path. All of this is conveyed through a suspended sense of time, a real city, and an authentic context, where the characters come to life and find space, freely expressing their emotions and sensations. The wardrobe creates movement; fashion invites interpretation and wear. Garment lines reject unnecessary volume: waists are cinched, shoulders are defined, and silhouettes are clean and linear. Lengths are structured in layers, with pieces overlapping. The color palette steps beyond classic restraint: red, yellow, and vivid blue appear, creating harmonious dialogues with geometric and floral prints.
The essence of the collection lies in the pursuit of a subtle detail, a narrative that is fresh and contemplative. The images captured by Zoë Ghertner immortalise the garments through a lens that is both attentive and refreshing. The visuals are powerful, and the depiction of Celine’s characters is intense. Colours feel fresh, and the light is sharp. Attention to detail becomes the aesthetic protagonist of the campaign. The visual narrative continues toward a discreet, simple, sophisticated, and modern stylistic approach. The selected images convey a broader sensory mood: summer is portrayed as a state of mind, with fashion and accessories at the center of a representation of lightness. A unique aesthetic pleasure. A clear direction. A new voice.
“We were thinking about good times, about lightness, and about summer heat. The tension between discretion and showing skin. About things that last, and things that are just a moment. And about how clothes, shoes, and all of it become a part of the memories we make wearing them.”
