Celine's Latest Creations Are A Portrait Of Now
Eight models on the rise offer a glimpse into this generation’s idea of cool – laid-back, wholly individual, and unafraid of singularity. This is now.
Great on women but even swervier on men, Serena Jane cuts a BCBG silhouette in a Celine wool jacket, jeans, and a metal and crystal-embellished necklace.
The second set of fresh fashion faces includes Diya Prabhakar, Kaine Neo, Serena Jane, and Kenji Tay who flex a different set of Celine fits: something spangly, Y2K inspired, and fresh to death. The latter, a reference to the Frame leather crossbody bag slung on Tay.
Like the models themselves, the Celine looks they are shot in are equally diverse. They are big on ideas (Slimane is a genius at remixing everyday items) and small in terms of its pleasing proportions: the Mini Triomphe leather crossbody bag is the season’s twee piece.
Americana classics meet French bourgeoise — Kenji Tay, May Myatnoe, and Kaine Neo strike sprightly silhouettes in Celine classics like the varsity jacket, cowboy boots, prep-school loafers, and knit sweaters.
It’s never a Celine shoot if something spangly and shiny isn’t shot: Srri Ramm makes micro-movements in vinyl streamers and cotton sweater with its glimmer subtly dialled down by a pair of jeans.
