Every Look from Celine's Spring/Summer 2024 Collection
Hedi Slimane presents Celine's Spring/Summer 2024 collection at France's Bibliothèque Nationale Richelieu in a runway film.
Though the official fashion month calendar came to a close weeks ago, in the Hedi Slimane rulebook, fashion week is whenever you so deem it to be. So, as he has done in nearly every year past, Slimane presents the latest Celine collection off-calender in the form of a fashion film.
While the Spring/Summer 2024 show took place at France's Bibliothèque Nationale Richelieu, the collection was anything but scholarly. There were certainly preppy-coded undertones, such as the fitted blazer, loafers and white socks combo, and pleated mini skirts. But what Slimane does so well is keeping alive the indie-sleaze aesthetic for the modern-day customer, something that has been carried into this presentation. The Celine girls of today are all about living in the now, which is mirrored in not only what they wear but how they wear it.
There's a sexy yet carefree attitude to it all: fur coats paired with denim cutoffs; sequin cardigans atop basic white tanks; leather jackets with low-slung jeans; knee-high shearling boots with gym class-esque mini shorts. This girl's itinerary? Club, another club, another club, another club, plane, next place, no sleep.
The accessories were also noteworthy be it the front-flap shoulder bag or headphones sitting around the neck — the latter of which is designed with the Celine Triomphe motif and marks a new collaboration with audio brand Master & Dynamic. As for the color palette, in a typical Slimane fashion, neutrals ruled the day with the occasional inclusion of animal print unveiled.
Slimane's signature tailoring was also ever-present taking form in matching buttoned cropped jackets and mini skirts, longline blazers over silk slip dresses, and crisp button-downs with black leather pants. While the collection may not be your every day "la bibliothèque" outfit, Celine may have just made a case for changing that rule.
