Paris Men's Week: Celine is the gospel and curse of Slimane

In Paris on Sunday night, Hedi Slimane finally announced his complete vision of the Celine man. In the press release of the conference, he wrote: "Celine 02: A London diary. Polaroid photos of young people in the UK." That's it.

The bad news is that Celine has nothing new. The good news is that Celine has nothing new. This is both the gospel of Slimane and his curse, depending on which side of the most controversial designer you stand on.

Regardless of which brand he leads, Slimane sticks to his position and publishes a very personal series. His focus is so sharp and stubborn that you can almost feel that he is designing a costume for a period of drama or film, not designing fashion. Instead, he pursues an attitude that is copied from the resources and then modified. This happened again at the Celine fashion show, and the end of the Paris menswear conference, and his Dior Homme, or his appearance at the Saint Laurent show is no different.

However, despite the feeling of deja vu, although you may find all wide-shoulder jackets, motorcycle jackets and high-waist pants in second-hand or second-hand stores, the thin androgynous models travel at an extremely fast speed despite the soundtrack of independent music. Although the hands are inserted into the pockets, it looks more like the rebellious Princess Stephanie of Monaco, rather than the left bank rebel who holds the stone; yes, despite all the skills used in most of Silmane's career, it makes people feel fresh. - Suddenly, once again, like the old fashion motto: everything is new.

The conference venue is a large black box with a glass wall to see the Place de la Concorde and the Champs Elysées. Therefore, the freshness can be imagined, of course. The image that Slimane pursues in this series is exactly the same. There are rumors that the designer has moved his studio to London, which may explain why his inspiration comes from the iconic British subculture.

His love for young people is eternal. When he imagined the Celine man, he drew a picture, a wealthy, obvious middle-class character, some rebellious tendencies, and a mansion as a backing. This is an old story, but it still works, it makes some very cool cuts and some fascinating coats.

Selling well is affirmative, but not creative. At the moment, true creativity does not predominate on the fashion agenda.
