Rider blends Celine's style with his own in Paris

Michael Rider debuted his vision for Celine in Paris, blending the brand's existing style with his own design influences. The show featured both menswear and womenswear. Rider's collection included skinny silhouettes reminiscent of his predecessor, Hedi Slimane, alongside nods to his American roots and previous work at Polo Ralph Lauren. Accessories, such as rings and chain necklaces, were a key focus. The debut comes amid a luxury market slowdown, but Rider aims to build on Celine's successful formula. He emphasized a desire to evolve the brand's identity while incorporating his own perspective.
