New proportions and smooth velvet are the foundations of the season’s Celine gender-fluid silhouettes. The luxury brand owned by LVMH group also launched a limited-edition jewelry collection called Les Cristaux Celine.

The Fall/Winter 2020-2021 collection embodies an evolution of the Celine wardrobe envisioned by Artistic Director Hedi Slimane.

This is a unisex collection, with each piece – including the bags – designed to be worn by men as well as women. As the models walked the runway, each look echoed the next in a play of fabrics: smooth velvet on jackets, pants and dresses, silk on androgynous blouses, shaping a new vision of romanticism.

Some of the accessories were created in collaboration with Fondation César and reinterpreted the sculptor’s iconic compressions. Crafted from silver and vermeil, these limited-edition jewelry pieces are in equal measure pendants and works of art.

The new Fall Winter 2020 collection also spotlighted the new Les Cristaux Celine jewelry line, with bracelets, rings and pendants fashioned from nine precious stones, including rock crystal, smoky quartz and star mica, chosen by Hedi Slimane for their beauty and symbolism.
