Serialization: "The Best of the Best" No.104 Céline, where Edie's sensibility comes to life. | news

Hedi Slimane has been named Artistic, Creative, and Image DirectorCeline.. As with the new logo, which has removed the "Axan," the collection, which was stripped down to the bare essentials, was very much like Eddie's. The collection was a true expression of his own sensibility.

What emerged from the stripped-down version was the spirit of rock that Eddie loves, but there were also hints of the Parisian elegance that is at the root of his work. This is evident in the wallet shown here.

The "BIKER SLG" is literally a wallet reminiscent of biker culture, yet both the studs and the double silver chain are aptly described as neat.

The other collection is embossed with Céline's DNA, the trionf. The design of the trionf is based on the sculpture of the chains surrounding the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

The body is made of calfskin and coated canvas. While the calfskin has a shiny and elegant texture, it is the canvas that cannot be overlooked. Developed about half a century ago for use in travel bags, it has a beauty that will age and die. Of course, its functional characteristics are also impeccable. It is light, supple, and durable at the same time.
