Celine Spring Summer 2026: Continuity in Motion

For his second outing at Celine, Michael Rider traded Paris for Parc de Saint-Cloud, staging an open-air runway that mirrored a collection grounded in continuity. Drawing on his debut’s winning formula — a balance of Hedi Slimane’s cool, Phoebe Philo’s polish, and his own Americana roots from Polo Ralph Lauren — Rider doubled down on mannish jackets, skinny jeans, tuxedo riffs, and preppy staples like polos and rugby shirts, now reimagined in fluid silk.
Fresh notes appeared in baby-doll dresses crafted from bouclé and florals, while logo bicycle helmets offered a playful nod to Paris’s cycling boom. It was a confident continuation — proof that Rider’s Celine is learning to move, not rush, through evolution.
