While we've only gotten a handful of Instagram posts to go off of, we already know things are happening big time. 

Since Hedi Slimane was appointed creative director for Celine&mdash;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/céline-new-logo-hedi-slimane-2018" target="_blank">sans accent</a>&mdash;the French fashion house has been completely revamped. Similar to how he dropped &quot;Yves&quot; from Saint Laurent, the stylistic choice ignited both shock and rage among hardcore C&eacute;line fans across the globe. Subsequently, Slimane then erased the entirety of the brand&rsquo;s previous Instagram posts, just like he&#39;s done in the past, too. But, perhaps the biggest shock came on Wednesday when he released an instantly viral post. Wrapped in a mysterious black trench coat, shot in black and white, model Sekhou Drame is wearing Celine&rsquo;s premier menswear collection. Or at least a preview of it. Tagged #CELINEBYHEIDISLIMANE, the post itself has already generated over 22,000 likes in less than 17 hours since uploading. Needless to say, anticipation for the September 28&nbsp;show is spiking.

This isn&rsquo;t to say that Celine doesn&rsquo;t already have a core group of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thecut.com/2017/04/the-men-who-love-to-wear-cline.html" target="_blank">male fans</a>: from film producer Hunter Gray, Kanye West, Pharrell, and of course countless others, the brand&rsquo;s traditionally androgynous aesthetic has communicated well with all consumers. It won&rsquo;t be a while until we fully see what Slimane&rsquo;s vision of Celine looks like, but according to a report by <a href="https://www.gq.com/story/hedi-slimane-celine-drop-release" target="_blank">BOF</a>, we can expect lots of Saint Laurent Paris. &ldquo; He is doing exactly what he was hired to do, bringing his own vision to the brand,&rdquo;&nbsp;the article states.

For those of you who aren&rsquo;t content with simply waiting another two weeks for the official release, preoccupy yourselves by reading up on Hedi Slimane&rsquo;s track record for improving iconic French brands. Or if you&rsquo;re one of the lucky few who lives in New York City, try catching one of the Celine trucks in action.&nbsp;And as for this writer (A devote Phoebe Philo fan.) personally, I&rsquo;m biting my nails waiting for the first look.
