Celine: the French elegance that rewrote luxury
•Posted on December 02 2025
When it comes to true Parisian style, unfussy and unostentatious, one name stands out: Celine . A brand that has transformed the word "minimalism" into a recognizable, desirable, and timeless aesthetic.
A bit like what happens with his glasses: clean lines, sculptural shapes, a strong character.
But to truly understand what makes Celine special, you have to start at the beginning.
From baby shoes to luxury fashion
Celine was born in Paris in 1945 , founded by Céline Vipiana , a visionary woman who, before being a designer, was a modern entrepreneur.
The brand was born as a custom-made footwear atelier for children , a symbol of artisanal elegance and attention to detail.
In the 1960s, the fashion house changed skin: Celine introduced women's fashion, accessories, leather goods and ready-to-wear lines, becoming one of the reference brands for French urban style.
The philosophy remains the same: clean design, absolute quality, silent luxury .
Two creative directors have profoundly influenced Celine's recent history:
Phoebe Philo (2008–2018)
He turned Celine into a cultural phenomenon.
Her style was essential, feminine, intelligent.
He brought back the idea of “wardrobe dressing” – garments that last, that build a wardrobe.
Hedi Slimane (2018 – present)
With Slimane comes a more rock, younger, more photographic aesthetic.
The collections become recognizable for their clean lines, 70s vibes and a very Parisian glamour.
In both cases, however, one thing doesn't change: Celine's clean and decisive DNA .
The Celine eyewear universe: sculptural minimalism
Celine glasses are today among the brand's most iconic accessories.
You can recognize them immediately: bold shapes, full frames, no excesses.
