La Collection de Saint-Tropez with *CELINE
written Sarah Arendts
The Saint-Tropez Collection by Celine for Spring-Summer 2023 is inspired by the Mediterranean Sea and the French Riviera. The collection features luxurious fabrics and feminine silhouettes. The colors are inspired by the sea and the sky, and the prints are based on the flora and fauna of the Mediterranean. The Saint-Tropez and Hedi Slimane's French Riviera Cycle is an iconic fashion moment. It is a time when the sun shines brighter, the air is warmer and the fashion is more relaxed.
The Saint-Tropez and Hedi Slimane's French Riviera Cycle began in the early 2000s when Hedi Slimane, then the creative director of Dior Homme, took a group of young, beautiful models to the French Riviera for a photo shoot. The images from that shoot, which were published in French Vogue, caused a sensation. Ever since then, the French Riviera has been synonymous with chic, effortless style.

What will the future hold for the indie summer style? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: Hedi Slimanes' influence is still very much alive.
It has been nearly two decades since Hedi Slimane first made his debut on the fashion scene with his innovative designs for Dior Homme. While his style has progressed over the years, there is no denying the impact his early work has had on current generation of designers. This summer, we are seeing a resurgence of Slimanes iconic 2000s style, with brands like Acne Studios, Off-White and Vetements all incorporating features of his signature look into their collections. The skinny jeans, distressed denim and leather jackets that defined Slimanes era are all making a comeback, and they are being worn with the same attitude and carelessness as they were in the early 2000s. This time around, though, there is a new generation of fashion-savvy kids who are putting their own spin on the look. And, with the rise of social media, it is easier than ever for them to share their style with the world.
