When our HULA editors were asked about what they think of Celine ā here is what they have to say:
Calm, aesthetically chic, and timeless.ā
āItās the Phoebe Philo era that has left a lasting imprint on the brand's identity, embodying elegance while showcasing an iconic silhouette that balances masculinity with edgy finesse.ā
āCeline, under Philo's creative direction, redefined luxury by focusing on simplicity and sophistication, making it a favourite among fashion insiders and enthusiasts alike.
Celine's aesthetic is characterised by clean lines and understated designs that exude confidence without being overly flashy. The brandās ethos revolves around a sense of modernity that feels both fresh and familiar. This duality allows Celine to appeal to a diverse clientele, from the minimalist at heart to those who appreciate bold, statement pieces. The garments often feature neutral palettes, allowing for versatility in styling, which has made them staples in many wardrobes.
One of the standout elements of Celineās designs is the ability to blend masculine and feminine styles seamlessly. Tailored blazers, structured dresses, and wide-legged trousers often dominate the collections, embodying a chic silhouette that transcends traditional gender norms. This approach not only empowers wearers but also reflects a contemporary understanding of fashion that celebrates individuality.
