Celine
About
Celine transitioned to women's ready-to-wear in the 1960s and was acquired by LVMH in 1996. Under Phoebe Philo's creative direction from 2008 to 2018, the brand became known for minimalist, cerebral womenswear and leather goods, gaining a devoted following among fashion professionals and consumers seeking understated luxury. Hedi Slimane introduced menswear, shifted the brand toward a rock-influenced aesthetic, and expanded the fragrance and accessories offerings.
The brand's product range includes men's and women's ready-to-wear, leather goods, shoes, small leather goods, jewelry, fragrances, and sunglasses. Key leather goods include the Triomphe bag, 16 bag, Belt Bag, and Ava bag, many featuring the Triomphe canvas pattern derived from an Arc de Triomphe chain motif found by Slimane. Celine Haute Parfumerie offers a collection of fragrances developed in-house.
Celine operates boutiques in major cities worldwide, including flagships in Paris, New York, London, and Tokyo, and sells through its own e-commerce platform. The brand does not wholesale to multi-brand retailers, maintaining a direct-to-consumer sales model. Manufacturing takes place primarily in Italy and France.
Fashion Houses
Celine is a French fashion house founded in 1945, now under the creative direction of Hedi Slimane. The house produces men's and women's ready-to-wear collections presented during Paris Fashion Week. Slimane's design direction incorporates a rock-influenced aesthetic with tailored silhouettes, slim cuts, and references to Parisian youth culture and Californian style.
