Celine Vipiana was not even 30 years old when she labelled her eponymous brand with her given name. The business began in 1945 as a made-to-measure shoe service for children. Today, the idea of Parisian chic—with savoir-faire and the finest 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.
