Paris Fashion Week: Celine channelled David Bowie androgyny in its spring/summer 2023 menswear show
Leggy and long-haired, they marched down a wide runway in sunglasses, hands thrust in front pockets, as spotlights blinked.
From sequin-embellished shirts to low-cut, skin-hugging pants and a shimmery crocodile blazer, Celine’s summer runway presentation was crammed with clothes imbued with an androgynous rock spirit, à la David Bowie.
Romeo Beckham and Mia Regan: the next Posh and Becks?
A long beige coat over a leather jacket paired with an ultra-slim tie and a white shirt added depth to slip-on shoes and raw edged jeans.
Leopard and landscapes of coconut trees appeared on short sleeve shirts while big necklace plastrons acted as clothes.
The sparse concrete halls of the show venue – the Palais de Tokyo, a Fashion Week favourite – contrasted with the dramatic settings Slimane chose as a backdrop for his live-streamed presentations during the pandemic, with swooping drones and Renaissance castles.
The show drew crowds that swarmed the surrounding streets, hoping to catch a glimpse of South Korean star Park Bo-gum, Lisa from K-pop girl group Blackpink and V, whose real name is Kim Tae-hyung, singer and songwriter of BTS.ncG1vNJzZmivp6x7tK%2FMqWWcp51kuqKzwLOgp52jZMC1xcueZqWtqKq%2FunvAq6uim5yafHR9l2xqb3Bfpa6ztdJmnZqrmJ68r3nWnpykZZOauaq6xGaaoZmeo7KtuMSdZJ2Zpp6xbq7OsKCeZZGjsbO7xrKlsg%3D%3D
