Céline | 582

Celine is a French luxury brand founded in 1945 by Céline Vipiana. Initially, it was a specialty children’s shoe store in Paris, but by the 1960s, the brand transformed into a renowned fashion house, known for its elegant and sophisticated collections of footwear and women’s clothing. In the 1970s, the brand expanded its offerings to include accessories, leather goods, and clothing, and Celine gained a reputation for refined, modern designs.

Throughout its history, Celine has been associated with elegance and minimalism, focusing on clean lines, discreet elegance, and the highest-quality materials. Early collections were designed by Céline Vipiana herself, and the brand quickly became a favorite of Parisian women and the international fashion elite.

In 1997, the brand became part of the LVMH group, which led to a new creative direction under the leadership of designer Phoebe Philo, who became the creative director in 2008. Her influence transformed Celine into one of the most desirable luxury brands, known for its modern, minimalist style, precise tailoring, and timeless models such as the "Box" and "Luggage Tote" bags.

After Philo’s departure in 2018, Hedi Slimane took over as creative director, bringing a fresh vision to the brand, steering it towards a more youthful, rock-and-roll style while maintaining a focus on craftsmanship and timeless design. Under his leadership, Celine continues to uphold its reputation as a luxury brand, gaining popularity among those seeking modern elegance with a touch of edge.
