CELINE

Celine Vipiana was not even thirty years old when she labelled her eponymous brand with her given name. The year was 1945 when the business began as a made-to-measure shoe service for children. Today, the idea of Parisian chic, with savoir-faire and the finest quality materials as pillars of the house is reinforced by artistic director Hedi Slimane through the ateliers at 16 rue Vivienne. Combined with ready-to-wear and accessories, his ‘haute couture’ designs showcase the meticulous possibilities of French craft within the Celine wardrobe.
