Celine Fall 2019 is all about the ‘80s French girl

The label Celine was started by Celine Vipiana and her husband Richard in 1945 as a made-to-measure shoe boutique for children. The duo expanded after they found some success and opened three stores by 1948. More than a decade later, Vipiana used her success as a launchpad to branch out into ready-to-wear with a goal to deliver fashion to everyday women.

Celine went international by the ‘70s, with boutiques from Monte Carlo, Beverly Hills to Hong Kong. After nine years, Celine formally turned into a piece of the LVMH gathering and started increase the improvement of its ready- to-wear and accessories.

In 1964, the brand launched a new scent called Vent fou and the new American Sulky as their latest accessory collection and gained success in no time. The fragrances as well as the accessories became a popular product for the consumers. Prompted by the notoriety of leather, Céline opened a leather merchandise plant in Florence. In 1973, Céline upgraded its logo with the interlaced "C" Sulky canvas, connected to the Arc-de-Triomphe, which showed up as an image for Parisians.

For 2019, Hedi Slimane, Celine’s new creative director met Phoebe Philo’s (the former director)  style somewhere in the middle, offering a very wearable collection of blazers, jeans, sweaters and skirts. Taking the subject of a seam of preexisting street style and drilling into it for all it’s worth- it is what Slimane has always been good at. The collection includes culottes and variations on silk ladylike dresses, the skinny jeans, high boots, and jacket combo that simultaneously made up the other side of the French girl’s wardrobe throughout the ’70s and ’80s.
