Celine

Celine is a prestigious French fashion brand that was founded in 1945 by Céline Vipiana. Initially focused on children's footwear, it expanded its offering to include women's clothing, accessories and luxury goods. Celine gained international fame for its refined, minimalist approach to design, emphasizing elegance and subtlety. In 1996, Celine became part of the luxury conglomerate LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE), further strengthening its position in the global market. In 2008, Phoebe Philo was appointed as the brand's creative director, having a huge impact on its modern image. Philo's design was praised for its clean lines, luxurious materials and focus on functionality, which attracted a new generation of loyal customers and significantly raised the brand's profile. After Philo's departure in 2017, Hedi Slimane, known for transforming the Saint Laurent brand, took over the creative helm. Under his direction, Celine underwent another transformation, introducing elements of rock aesthetics and androgynous styles that provoked mixed reactions from critics and consumers alike.
