Celine Menswear Spring Summer 2022 is rebellious and brilliant
This is a modal window.
Another spring 2022 fashion collection associated with the keyword "rave". It seems the desire to escape is growing stronger for any designer. Returning to his strength as well as his love for teenage boys' wear, Hedi Slimane brings a rebellious "Cosmic Cruiser neo-rave" with giant motorcycle shows on the runway itself.
Filmed by many autopilot cameras, the Celine catwalk this time stopped at the Archipel des Embiez island, southern France. With the advantage of performing at home (Slimane is also living in the South of France), the collection "Cosmic Cruiser" accurately represents the image of young men's fashion Hedi Slimane always pursues.
Faced with many criticisms when he held the position of creative director since 2018 and completely did not follow the "Céline" legacy left by the previous generation, Slimane boldly "renamed" the brand, launching the fashion line. page dedicated to men and also began to produce perfumes. It cannot be denied that Hedi Slimane is bringing in huge profits thanks to men's clothing in particular and young buyers in general.
Maybe not so great in female collections, but when it comes to the keyword "homme", Hedi is a very noticeable name. With an extremely flexible style, the designer brings the playful, luxurious spirit and sophisticated "tailoring" patterns back in "Cosmic Cruiser". A modern men's collection that still has a distinct classic part. “Cosmic Cruiser” is perhaps the most exact midway between two previous excellent menswear creations: “The Dancing Kid” and “Teen Knight Poem”.
The first "models" to appear in the frame of this online show are FMX riders (freestyle motocross - extreme sport, players using motorbikes to perform acrobatics in the air) . Coming from the famous racing team FMX4EVER, the athletes are equipped with KTM 250 SX cars made specifically for Celine. The team opened the show by racing around the edge of the forest and slamming onto the catwalk, doing jumps with the built-in ramp and continuing the race until the last model closed the 15 minutes of “Cosmic” Cruisers”. The youthful and rebellious atmosphere appeared from the very beginning. The racing team did a great job of leading the emotional source and creating excitement for viewers.
Not only designing, Slimane also participated in the sound production for the show, collaborating with singer/songwriter Izzy Camina. Music and especially pop-rock songs have always been very popular with Hedi, they not only appear in a very catchy and impressive way every time Celine releases a new collection; but the atmosphere as well as the influence of punk, rock has always been with Hedi for a long time, you can refer to the men's fashion collections from Saint Laurent under Hedi.
Leather jackets, black, metallic sunglasses, ripped jeans and make-up that emphasize the eyes are still recognizable. However, with "Cosmic Cruiser", fans witnessed the appearance of large floral prints, thin lace, sequins and glittering details taking turns invading the catwalk. The color palette becomes even richer, if the Fall-Winter Collection "Teen Knight Poem" has very neutral colors and focuses on styling carefully, then "Cosmic Cruiser" brings a bustling spring with a 7-color fur coat. , floral details, vibrant hand-drawing and even a distinct look with striking red accents.
Wide jeans are also a must-have in this collection. I thought Hedi would stick with the "slim-fit" shape, with a moderate fit for a while longer, but with "Cosmic Cruiser", although still creating a tall, straight outfit, it seems that some items are already there. much wider. Hedi's strong rock-influenced design ethos is still present with silver necklaces, chockers, lots of leather, high-heeled boots, ripped waistcoats and lightweight shirts. This comeback, the unnecessary fussy details are omitted, the design becomes more refined, neat but still bold with rebellious dusty colors.
Sequins appear in abundance, from a poncho with a Hawaiian black-and-orange print to vests, bombers, denim jackets with glittering embellishments or a shiny silver blazer. The accessories of the BST are not many, the most notable are probably the large eyewear designs that embrace the whole face, promising to sell very well when the collection is ready to hit the shelves.
The collection continues to promote the spirit of escapism, rebelliousness and even sometimes excessive boldness of young culture. It all blends in effectively, delivering a Celine that's satisfying enough for fans and, without a doubt, "Cosmic Cruiser" to continue to bring in good sales.
