Hedi Slimane Unveils Celine's Summer 2024 Women's Collection in Paris' National Library

Collection embodies Slimane's commitment to androgynous tailoring, blending styles of different genres and eras with a focus on Parisian bourgeois and early 2000s Hollywood street style.

• Hedi Slimane introduces Celine's Summer 2024 women’s collection with a fashion video, filmed in the main reading room of the Bibliothèque Nationale, the French national library, in Paris, after nearly a year's hiatus from women’s shows.
• Using the French national library as a metaphor, he presents a 'wardrobe library' that offers versatility, irrespective of the season, indicating a shift in fashion from being trend-based to a more timeless approach.
• The collection, titled 'Tomboy', displays Slimane’s fidelity to androgynous style and offers a blend of Parisian bourgeois and 2000s Hollywood street style, including a range of styles like black and white existential androgyny, 1990s grunge, BCBG minimal vibe, and romantic profiles.
• A notable array of accessories such as chain-strapped Victoire bags, headphones embossed with the Celine Triomphe logo (made in collaboration with audio brand Master & Dynamic), dark shades, and big shearling boots are included in the collection.
• The collection also showcases Slimane's couture line featuring various full-length and abbreviated gowns adorned with shimmering crystal and embroidery, asserting Slimane's persistent youthful, rock and roll-infused style.
