Hedi Slimane captures Parisian nightlife on the Celine Homme winter 2023 runway

The nightspot’s rich art deco interiors, neon lights and paintings constructed a moody and emblematic backdrop for the newly debuted collection, inspired by long, animated nights of partying while picking up on a movement that is appearing in major cities like Paris, London and New York. Perennially fascinated by the youth and frequently incorporating the energy they embody into his designs, the visionary explored this audience’s rediscovery of the 2000s electronic rock sound and scene to unveil some of his most archetypal pieces for Celine Homme.

Thus central to the collection are several “double leather” looks that pair black pants in Slimane’s signature narrow silhouette with studded biker and racer jackets. Suits were slightly raised and worn with cropped flared trousers, just as giant leopard prints featured on elegant silk shirts and oversized cashmere coats. Entirely soundtracked by the seminal Seventies New York proto-punk band Suicide and complemented by the models wearing Celine’s Nightclubbing fragrance from its Haute Parfurmerie collection, the runway show was given the name Paris Syndrome to reference its truly electric spirit.
