Harrods, the renowned luxury department store, has recently welcomed a Celine summer-themed pop-up store and a stunning exhibition window display. The pop-up showcases Celine’s summer 23 collection, which made its debut at a glamorous runway show in St Tropez. Combining the allure of the French Riviera with Celine’s iconic Parisian heritage, the collection features versatile pieces that can be effortlessly styled for both city outings and beach getaways.
This season, the Riviera has emerged as a significant source of inspiration in the fashion world. The gradual return to normalcy in travel, as governments and health authorities declare an end to the pandemic, may be one of the reasons behind this trend. It seems that designers and brands are finding inspiration in the Riviera’s timeless charm and elegant lifestyle.
Interestingly, the Riviera trend extends beyond luxury brands like Celine. PrettyLittleThing (PLT), a popular mass-market brand, and its ambassador Molly Mae have also embraced the Cote d’Azur theme. While Celine and Harrods offer a range of off-duty clothing, bags, sunglasses, and accessories, PLT’s collection focuses on infusing timeless glamour and elegance into holiday style aesthetics. The PLT collection features figure-enhancing fits, effortless styling pieces, and classic silhouettes in a soft earth-toned color palette, incorporating fabrics like crochet and linen. Similar to Celine, these co-ords are designed to be versatile and suitable for various occasions, from beach days to evening soirées. The collection also includes oversized sunglasses and gold accessories, with prices ranging from £15 to £45.
In addition to the Celine pop-up at Harrods, exciting news awaits fashion enthusiasts as a permanent Celine Haute Parfumerie space is set to open in the store on June 14th, coinciding with the closing day of the pop-up. This development further highlights the strong partnership between Harrods and Celine.
Whether one chooses to shop at luxury retailers or explore more affordable options like PLT, the influence of the Riviera can be seen throughout the fashion industry this season. Embracing this trend allows individuals to infuse their summer wardrobes with a touch of glamour and sophistication, evoking the spirit of the Riviera’s timeless elegance.
