Lockdowns, social distancing and mask-wearing might largely be a thing of the past, but the effects of the global pandemic continued to be felt around the world long past the age of lockdowns. Case in point: Parisian fashion house Celine hosted its first IRL catwalk at the close of 2022.
For the seasons during the Covid-19 outbreak, as the rest of the industry returned to jam-packed Fashion Week schedules and ultra-glitzy events, the brand led by Hedi Slimane revealed its new collections online with digital, audience-less shows or artistic films shot on the French Riviera. So it was only right that Celine put on one of its glitziest, most star-studded shows to date to mark its official entry into the post-pandemic era.
Held on December 8 2022 at iconic Los Angeles landmark The Wiltern, Celine's Winter 23 catwalk event was a suitably glamorous affair. The Art Deco-style theatre was decked out in Hollywood-worthy flashing lights, with a stellar front row including Cindy Crawford, Paris Hilton, Courtney Cox and Emma Roberts, and models Kaia Gerber and Dree Hemingway on the runway.
And the collection itself? An homage to the 'Age of Indieness' by way of some classic Hollywood references. Think sparkly gold mini-dresses and sequinned gowns alongside Parisian indie-chick interpretations of classic Y2K Los Angeles starlet looks: super-skinny leather trousers paired with boots, blazers, black-out sunglasses and the signature it-girl arm pop to show off the bag of the moment.
