Step into the ethereal world of Hedi Slimane’s imagination as CELINE HOMME brings forth a mesmerizing spectacle with its Summer 2024 Collection, aptly named “Delusional Daydream.” In a series of visuals that travel between Parisian grandeur and Monaco’s opulent opera house, Slimane takes the fashion circuit on a journey that is nothing short of a rebellious ode to individuality and artistic resurgence.
Originally set to grace the catwalks of La Gaîté Lyrique culture center in the heart of Paris, the collection’s unveiling faced a setback due to unforeseen circumstances. Yet, from the ashes of this cancellation rose a phoenix of creativity. Slimane, the master of reinvention, transformed adversity into opportunity, presenting “The Show That Never Was” through a visually arresting film.
Set against the pulsating beats of LCD Soundsystem’s iconic 2005 album “Losing My Edge,” the film unfolds like a rock and roll saga. The golden corridors of La Gaîté Lyrique become a stage where models, guided by the graceful moves of ballet dancer Laurids Seidel, storm through in a kaleidoscope of rebellious uniforms. The juxtaposition of Monaco’s Palais Garnier opera house adds a touch of grandiosity, creating a cinematic masterpiece that transcends traditional runway presentations.
CELINE HOMME’s Summer 2024 Collection redefines formality with a bold fusion of androgyny and rebellion. Slimane’s signature skintight leggings and ruffled tops in bloom set the stage for a remix of bold menswear suits. From bare chests adorned with creative breezes to rhinestone-encrusted suiting, the collection celebrates defiance. Wrap-around double-breasted sets, pinstriped versions, and glossy designs shatter the norms of common formalwear, paving the way for a new era of self-expression.
