CELINE

Celine Vipiana was not even thirty years old when she labeled the eponymous brand with her given name. It was in 1945 that the business began as a made-to-measure shoe service for children. Today, the idea of Parisian chic with savoir-faire and the finest quality materials as pillars of the house is reinforced by artistic director Hedi Slimane through the ateliers at 16 Rue Vivienne. Combined with ready-to-wear and accessories, his "haute couture" designs showcase the meticulous possibilities of French craft within the Celine wardrobe.
