A feast for the visual senses, Celine’s swanky new abode embodies the sophisticated vision of the brand’s creative director, Hedi Slimane. His love for sleek grey travertine and dramatic Grande Antique marble are evident across the entire space. Juxtaposed with warm oak accents, brass details and antique gold mirrors, he brings in a touch of 21st-century brutalism softened by elegant refinement.
The store seamlessly blends Celine’s coveted collections for women and men, comprising ready-to-wear, leather goods and accessories, as well as haute parfumerie, jewellery, and maison collections. Glass and steel wall cases showcase each item with meticulous detail, thus ensuring a truly immersive shopping experience.
