Celine’s Summer 24 presentation was recorded at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF), located across the street from the Celine Ateliers on Rue Vivienne. Originally founded by Charles V in 1368, the BnF later transformed into a national library after the French Revolution. It thus, inherited the French Royal Collections dating back to the Middle Ages.

Mirroring the delicate craftsmanship of the library’s vaulted glass ceilings, Celine’s couture jackets and dresses are embroidered by hand. Models wear leather headphones embossed with the emblematic Celine Triomphe, part of a special Celine project in collaboration with Master & Dynamic.

Bookended by tomboyish opening and finale looks, the collection remains faithful to Hedi Slimane’s signature androgynous tailoring, which has been an emblematic marker of his design work since it began in the late ‘90s.
