Discover the epitome of style with Celine’s exclusive Spring/Summer 2024 men’s collection, showcased through a captivating video presentation. Originally slated for a live debut at the Gaîté Lyrique concert hall in Paris, the collection was instead expertly captured by Hedi Slimane, the creative director, in collaboration with ballet dancer and model Laurids Seidel.
Filmed against the backdrop of iconic Parisian venues—Gaîté Lyrique, Grand Rex, and Opéra Garnier in Monte Carlo—the collection unfolds as a bold statement of rebellious allure. Featuring sleek rebel rocker silhouettes, the ensemble boasts cropped black tops, studded biker jackets with golden accents, and impeccably tailored leather trousers, all veiled behind the mystery of regulation dark glasses—signature elements of Slimane’s distinct style cultivated over two decades.
Drawing inspiration from Slimane’s transformative era at Dior Homme, the collection reintroduces ultra-slim ties, a nostalgic nod to the early 2000s, elegantly paired with white shirts and black suits. Impeccably cut suits take center stage, from houndstooth fabrics for daytime elegance to eveningwear adorned with shiny, silvery textures, crystals, and minuscule rubies. Double-breasted suits and white dinner jackets add a touch of sophistication to the sartorial narrative.
In a theatrical twist, Slimane introduces corset tops, revealing arms, backs, and shoulders, adorned with oversized bows—a motif inspired by 17th-century royal portraits of painter Pierre Mignard. Satin plays a leading role, gracefully draped around the midriff, fastened with giant bows, and seamlessly integrated into bare-shoulders biker jackets. This play of volumes and curves extends to a cape-style coat with puffed-up shoulders, showcasing Slimane’s penchant for pushing sartorial boundaries.
The collection’s aesthetic harmoniously aligns with the video’s keyed-up mood, accompanied by a soundtrack featuring the cult title «Losing My Edge» by LCD Soundsystem—a perfect fusion of post-punk, dance, and electro-pop influences. Celine’s Spring/Summer 2024 men’s collection, a symphony of rebellion and refinement, invites fashion enthusiasts to embrace a summer defined by bold sophistication.
Experience the pinnacle of men’s fashion with Celine—where rebellion meets elegance, and every detail tells a story of timeless style.
