Overview

• Rider presented his inaugural menswear and womenswear show at Celine’s Paris atelier near the Tuileries Garden.
• He echoed Hedi Slimane’s signature skinny jeans and tight trousers while nodding to his Ralph Lauren background with preppy knits and striped ties.
• Gold rings, chunky bangles and chain-link necklaces joined bags stamped with a simple C and the Triomphe monogram to accentuate branding.
• Rider emphasized continuity, stating he sought to build on Celine’s existing modern and ethical foundation rather than erase past creative eras.
• The debut arrives as LVMH reports a slowdown in fashion and leather goods sales, intensifying expectations for Rider to uphold Celine’s growth.
