CELINE Winter 2024
The Dawn of Beauté and a Winter of Triomphe

 

written Alban E. Smajli

 

Shadows of the Arc de Triomphe and the timeless allure of Parisian streets serve as the backdrop as CELINE unveils its latest masterpiece – the Women Winter 24 Collection, christened “La Collection de L’Arc de Triomphe”.

 

This collection transcends the ordinary seasonal release; it's a revolution and a proclamation of beauty and heritage, masterfully led by the indomitable Hedi Slimane. This season signifies a groundbreaking moment for the house: the introduction of CELINE Beauté, the brand's inaugural dive into cosmetics, marking not just any debut. Conceptualized by Slimane in 2023, this line enriches CELINE’s sensory universe, building on the olfactory delights of the Haute Parfumerie introduced in 2019 to a visual array of luxurious beauty essentials.

Drenched in nostalgia yet fiercely modern, the "La Collection de L’Arc de Triomphe" film is an ode to the birth of CELINE Beauté. Models adorned with "La Peau Nue" Rose Naturel lipstick, a prelude to the "Rouge CELINE" collection, set to launch with an explosion of 15 shades in 2025. But the revolution begins this autumn with “Rouge Triomphe” satin lipstick – think of it as your first taste of rebellion.

Rewinding back to 1971, the tale begins with Celine Vipiana stranded at Place de l’Etoile, her gaze caught by the chain link around the Arc de Triomphe. Fast forward to 2018, and Slimane, with his Midas touch, revamps this motif into “Triomphe” – a symbol of victory that now threads through each collection like a golden seam.

The Winter 24 collection is a time capsule, whisking us back to the 60s, the CELINE golden era, now with Slimane at the helm navigating through the decades. It’s a blend of heritage and haute couture, where ready-to-wear meets artisanal craftsmanship.

Set against Paris's historical Art Deco backdrops, from La Salle Pleyel’s symphonic echoes to Le Musée Bourdelle's sculptural sanctum and La Maison de la Chimie’s architectural synthesis, the collection is a tribute to the city’s artistic legacy. These venues, steeped in history, serve as the perfect canvas for CELINE’s modern artistry.

The soundscape of the collection, "La Folia", composed and performed by Mélanie Chedeville with a touch of magic from Rico the Wizard, is a nod to the symphony of creativity that defines CELINE. It’s a homage to Slimane’s mentor, Richard Avedon, blending the realms of photography, music, and fashion into a single, pulsating heartbeat.
