CELINE

Keeping true to his signature rock ’n’ roll aesthetic, Hedi
Slimane debuted the fi rst menswear line for the French maison.
Strictly speaking a unisex collection, male models wore
skinny suits with even skinnier ties reminiscent of his designs
at previous houses. Statement pieces came in the form of
leopard trenches topped with The Matrix sunglasses, as well
as sequinned bomber jackets, all created in partnership with
Swiss-American artist Christian Marclay.

DIOR HOMME

Yet another highly
anticipated collection
was Kim Jones’ debut
for Dior Homme. Jones

dug deep into Christian
Dior’s archive, reviving
the bee motif used in
a 1955 collection and
reimagined by street
artist Kaws to be
sprinkled on baby pink
duffl e bags. Couture
details were adopted
from womenswear, such
as feathered fl owers
and chinoiserie patterns
on trench coats and
jumpsuits. But the one
piece already fl ying off
shelves? The iconic
women’s saddle bag
turned men’s accessory,
painted matte and

fi nished with a utilitarian
buckle, courtesy of
Alyx designer
Matthew Williams.
