Sun, sand, sequins and... FMX stunt-bikers? For Celine’s men’s spring/summer 2022 collection, Hedi Slimane brought high fashion to the shore with just a whiff of rebellious teen spirit
When it comes to Hedi Slimane’s vision of fashion, you can almost see the archetype in your mind: lean, tailored, leather jackets, the artfully elevated grunge that artists and musicians pull off with ease. But for men’s spring/summer 2022, the creative, artistic and image director director of Celine has skilfully incorporated references and elements that draw the brand inexorably into the now with an exuberant sense of freedom.
Here, Tatler brings you the top five highlights from the Celine men’s spring/summer 2022 digital showcase.
There was a sense of freedom and renewal
Titled Cosmic Cruiser, the digital presentation was pre-filmed on the Archipel des Embiez in the south of France, not far from where Slimane lives. In a sense, the collection was a culmination of the designer’s design philosophy: the lean male form, the freedom of youth, and the timelessness of a well-tailored suit. It has to be said, though, that there was a sense that Slimane too was embracing the freeing qualities of being outdoors, and conveyed this with fashionable slogans on his aforementioned skinny-cut suit jackets.
