Celine Introduces Winter 2024 Collection and a Sneak Peek at Celine Beauté
Who: Celine
What: “La Collection de L’Arc de Triomphe” show video
Where: YouTube
Why: For his latest collection, Hedi Slimane dug deep into the ’60s and ’70s archives at Celine, bringing to life an epic show filmed across iconic Art Deco institutions in Paris, like Maison de la Chimie, where Slimane held his first Yves Saint Laurent show in 1997. The collection is full of nods to icons like Jackie O., Catherine Deneuve and, of course, Céline Vipiana. Pillbox hats pair with layers of pearls, mod dresses in plain black and embellished creams go with space-age knee-high white boots, and the iconic Triomphe bag gains new meaning with a dedication to the motif first established in 1971. Plus, Slimane is expanding his beauty offering with Celine Beauté, introducing a line of 15 lipstick shades available next year. The models in the video are wearing “Le Peau Nue,” a natural rose shade, but the first shade to be sold this fall will fittingly be “Rouge Triomphe.”
