A good old surprise is everything, even more so during Paris Fashion Week. Notorious for showing off-schedule, Hedi Slimane unveiled his Celine Spring 2025 collection on Sunday, September 29 – mere weeks after the unveiling of the Menswear Spring 2025 collection. Slimane joined Celine as creative director in 2018 and amid rampant rumors surrounding his departure from the LVMH-owned fashion house, the French designer demonstrated the show must go on. Hedi Slimane looked to French playwright and novelist Françoise Sagan as inspiration for his latest Celine womenswear collection, unveiled via a short film titled Un Été Français. The Slimane-directed cinematic film was shot on location at Compiègne, a royal chateau situated in the north-east of Paris. Slimane’s cast of work worked chic skirt suits, tweed twin sets, babydoll dresses, Breton stripes, printed silk scarfs, and floral prints throughout the lineup, tooted in the liberatory spirit of the swinging 60s.
Celine Spring 2025 Collection Review
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Very very very Chanel. VERY.” [Salvatore]
“This can easily be a youthful collection for Chanel if they had a Chanel Mademoiselle line, but I really like it for the youthful and simple vibe. Even the design is limited such as the pleat skirt/jacket combination and doll dresses.” [JohannesL]
“Beautiful, relaxing, charming.” [imjustken]
“I like it. I love how precise it is. Down to the hair, I always think the hair sets the tone at a Slimane show. He’s very good.” [Norden]
“Beautiful, love how luxurious everything looks.” [liberty33r1b]
“Best show of the season. His taste for models is everything.” [Ludwig]
“I have not enjoyed a show like this in years, the music, the vibe, the fashion. It feels modern and aspirational.” [ReneSanchez]
“The personification of elegance in the 60s is embodied in this collection. Everything is done with precision and control just like any Hedi Slimane collection.” [PierreGotha]
“Stunning from start to finish.” [GoldenPetals]
