Nah, they are fine as long as Rider releases new versions of the Triomphe bag and CELINE logo stuff...
I don't think Hedi stans contributed to sales greater than 10% of total...it's gonna underperform but nothing terrible.

There’s something to be said about Hedi’s power to sell RTW. I hope Ryder continues with that. SAs love that.

Rider’s Challenge won’t be to necessarily sell clothes but to have Celine less dependent on the Triomphe logo and CELINE on merch.
Because ultimately, what was the success of Saint Laurent by Slimane wasn’t the success of Celine by Slimane.
Rider will have to bring a fashion proposition to it to move stuff.

So yeah celine is toast.

they are just gonna be glad to not have to close a bunch of stores. There’s no way they built out this insane distribution network for Polo Ralph Lauren…

This guy will be sunsetted like that lady who preceded Phoebe - that we don’t even remember.

Celine was just about to find its footing as a super brand. Now Hedi sent them back to the queue.

Back in the Superfuture days when Dior Homme was still showing on the runway, looking like Polo Ralph Lauren was an insult. That whole vibe was the opposite of what we admired. Ironically, those same guys are now the Celine customer. They've always had that exact point of view. They couldn't have chosen a worse follow up to Hedi.

I only buy Polo Ralph Lauren for children, like when I wore it as a little boy because my mom dressed me in it.

LOL, the logo has taken me back to the hipster era and has given me an idea to get a tattoo with the initials of my name, haha

 

[tourbillions]

Whats even still selling at celine? Logo shirts and perfumes?

 

[Kimihiro]

Sailing CELINE? They’re really hell bent on making it French RL which is not bad. I rather like though where Hedi was taking it with the last two collections. I’m not sure if I’ll like it if Rider makes it more casual.

Part of the allure was how serious they were for such simple merchandise.

The logo is giving JC - Jimmy Choo summer capsule collection with anchor shaped as a J...LOL

They chose the anchor, because they are going to sink Celine to the deepest bottom of the sea...

 

[tricotineacetat]

I had no hopes

It’s probably safe to say that key markets in the Far East who largely contributed to the sales of Celine’s more fashion-forward products will NOT respond to what Mr. Rider is cooking up.

You don’t need to be a hardcore, day-one Slimane follower to realize it’s had a particular niche on the market that is now vacant.

I’m not going to discuss the Celine Men because I don’t want to ruffle any feathers, but Celine Woman was just a brilliant exercise in styling. And I’m not a trend setter or anything, but I was caught off guard when Slimane showed the “new look” of Chanel-esque jacket and denim. I have been wearing the same look for years (with my mom’s Chanel jacket) and sometimes even with shorts. Admittedly I was lazy and the jacket somehow pulls the whole outfit together. But somehow Slimane now made that whole look “cool.”
