DIS MOI CÉLINE

It is not easy to forget that Celine canceled her spring 2024 show after a teenager was killed by police in Paris. Hedi Slimane, Celine’s artistic director and image director, returned to the venue « La Gaité Lyrique » the same month to film his models in tight leather pants and sparkly shirts or jackets as if they were rock stars of yore storming through a golden corridor.

Featuring ballet dancer Laurids Seidel leaping up a storm at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo, as well as a caped figure rotating atop Le Grand Rex cinema and concert venue in Paris, rebranded with Celine logos.

With black suits, white shirts, and skinny ties Slimane pioneered at Dior Homme earlier in his career, the collection felt like the greatest hits of one of the most influential menswear designers of the new millennium.

In one month, Celine’s spring collection will arrive in stores, so you’ll be one of the coolest, shiniest characters congregating in New York’s Dimes Square on New Year’s Eve. Clubbing is back.
