Celine

Aug 2026

The Celine Hiver 2026 campaign masterfully synthesizes the house's storied commitment to Parisian elegance with a contemporary, architectural rigor. Photographed by Zoë Ghertner, the imagery leans into a narrative of motion and stillness, capturing subjects against the backdrop of Haussmann-style architecture and textured urban stone. Under the creative direction of Charles Levai and Kevin Tekinel, the project establishes a visual language defined by editorial minimalism and high-contrast color theory. Throughout the series, the styling by Brian Molloy elevates the collection's structure, utilizing voluminous coats, sharp-shouldered blazers, and statement accessories like oversized scarves and bowler hats to build a cohesive, cinematic silhouette. The deliberate use of soft light and natural light techniques imbues the portraits with a tangible warmth, contrasting the clinical, clean aesthetic of the brand with the gritty, historic reality of the city streets. Whether through the bold, saturated reds or the stark, monochrome compositions, the campaign reads as a sophisticated exploration of form. By blending live-action technique with a refined, earthy color palette, the team—including hairstylists Duffy and Holli Smith alongside makeup artists Lucia Pieroni and Thomas De Kluyver—has created a timeless fashion narrative that feels both deeply grounded in European heritage and strikingly modern in its execution.
