The French girl is an allusive erudite, yet despite the mystique surrounding the sartorial movements of the Parisienne, Celine has offered up a hypothesis of their own with their Women\u2019s Summer 2024 collection. <\/span>Entitled \u201cTomboy\u201d, Celine\u2019s creative director Hedi Slimane has proposed that under layers of academia, the French girl is really a party one with a collection rife with oxymorons and underpinned by a dialogue of tensions. <\/span><\/p>\n

Released as a surprise on Friday, October 20 to the delight of legions of Celine-ites\u2014because the initiated know well and good that fashion month<\/a> isn\u2019t over even after the last model\u2019s plane left the tarmac at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport\u2014the French luxuriate bookishly explores the dichotomy of collegiate life through riffing on archetypes of early 2000s uniforms. <\/span><\/p>\n

Released in a digital format directed by Slimane himself, Celine has trotted across the road from their Parisian atelier to France\u2019s national library, Biblioth\u00e8que nationale de France, to stage a runway in the rows of the Beaux-Art reading room,\u00a0<\/span>Salle Labrouste. Soundtracked to an extended version of LCD Soundsystem\u2019s \u201cToo Much Love\u201d, which the Maison describes as \u201cone of the most influential sounds in indie electronic music and club scenes,\u201d Slimane\u2019s vision for Celine\u2019s contemporary Y2K-inspired wardrobe<\/a> becomes realised under glass domed ceilings and walls lined with hardcover esoteric books. <\/span><\/p>\n

The crux of this collection is designed for the academic and the aloof, with sorority codes like bratty velour tracksuits and knee-high ugg-style boots punctuated with Slimane\u2019s signature androgynous fervour. Fit for the girls who rolled into final weeks nursing last night\u2019s bad decisions, the only accessory missing from this ultra-noughtie presentation was an extra-whipped Starbucks frappuccino. <\/span><\/p>\n

Juxtaposing the classic setting with 2005 tones and codes, Slimane offers a modern reimagination of his signature suiting commitment to the allure of androgynous tailoring through the lens of a freshman tomboy. The opening looks are reminiscent of students who dress for their last tutorial of the day in ensembles best suited for the dance floors of Paris\u2019 nightclub district. <\/span><\/p>\n

Raw-hem cut-off shorts are paired with netting tank tops and leather jackets inspired by Napoleonic coats. Elsewhere, ethereal dresses float along the library\u2019s floor under a grey school coat. The idea of recontextualising Y2K staples is a prominent motif apparent throughout the entirety of the collection. Leather bomber jackets are styled back with soon-to-sell-out headphones embossed with the \u2018Triomphe\u2019 sigil (made as part of a special Celine project in collaboration with Master & Dynamic), lingerie-inspired corsetry is softened with Slimane skinny jeans and quintessential Celine structured blazers. Yet, 2000-isms are dialled up a notch with low-waisted tennis shorts, baseball caps, flared jeans and ab-baring crop tops. <\/span><\/p>\n

The collection moved across every on-campus clich\u00e9, from the sporty track star complete in a striped leather tracksuit to the studious valedictorian in sensible sneakers and a shearling cardigan and class factotum with an anything-goes leopard-print skirt and button-up jacket set. Here, Celine argues that these textbook subcultures are worth reading into, with a clash of scholarly styles underpinned by early 2000s ease. Buttoned-up and low-brow ideals intersect under Celine\u2019s storied heritage, proving that the history book on the shelf is indeed repeating itself.<\/span><\/p>\n
