The collection, aptly titled Paris La Nuit, captured the essence of the Parisian nightlife with a fusion of rock-star vibes and timeless elegance.
Drawing inspiration from his personal experiences in Paris, Slimane infused the collection with a sense of nostalgia and a vision for the future, marking a new chapter for Celine. The show ended on a high note with the announcement of a transformative period for the brand, as international buyers flocked to the showroom overnight to witness Slimane’s cutting-edge designs firsthand.
