Is Hedi Slimane's Celine Returning To Its Paris Roots?

Squeaking in with his fall 2022 collection film for Celine two months after Paris Fashion Week and just before the destination cruise shows kick off in earnest, Hedi Slimane was in fine form. The collection was titled "Dans Paris," translating to "In Paris." By now his formula is familiar — spectacular settings in France, a hypnotic-bordering-on-annoying soundtrack, a few exits worn by house ambassador Lalisa Manobal, all slickly produced — but it suits his to-the-point fashions, eminently wearable and nonchalant yet elegant. Almost every model sported black sunglasses, wash-and-go hair and a chain-handled handbag, the most striking in octagonal shapes. Handsomely tailored coats and blazers were underpinned by black turtlenecks accented with a short gold chain, while sharp-heeled boots finished off boyish jeans. With their ongoing industry takeover, K-Pop girl group Blackpink are at the top of their game – racking up major brand deals as well as hits. And Lalisa Manobal – known to fans as Lisa – is a key Celine ambassador (officially since 2020) who effortlessly embodies the cool French-girl aesthetic the brand is renowned for. So much so that she’s being tapped up for modelling duties: the rapper walked the maison’s autumn/winter 2022 show, staged across two landmark Parisian venues.
