With the summer sales winding down, our thoughts are turning to autumn and winter pieces. For our first installment, we feature the second collection from Hedi Slimane at Céline. The Editor-in-Chief, captivated by the show's brilliance in Paris, has selected seven looks from the new collection for you.

Sukezane“This is Hedi Slimane's second season at Céline. I was mesmerized by the runway show in Paris this January; the collection was truly exceptional. Even after trying on the pieces at the showroom, their impeccable craftsmanship stood out.”

“Many of the outerwear pieces utilize classic materials like tweed, and pairing them with crisp white shirts is a brilliant touch. Layering a coat over a jacket, while reminiscent of past eras, feels fresh in today's casual-dominated fashion landscape. The silhouettes of the outerwear are interesting, with slim sleeves contrasting a slightly relaxed body, which also enhances comfort.”

“The overall mood of the collection evokes the Nouvelle Vague era. Many styles wouldn't look out of place in a Jean-Luc Godard film, which perfectly suits the current zeitgeist. This is the first full autumn/winter season under Slimane for Céline, a brand synonymous with Parisian chic. It's a superb collection that truly showcases his interpretation of French style.”
