History

Founded in 1945 by Céline Vipiana, the brand originally started as a made-to-measure children's shoe business in Paris. It transitioned into women's ready-to-wear and accessories in the 1960s. Under the creative leadership of Phoebe Philo in the 2000s, Celine became a symbol of "new minimalism," significantly influencing contemporary womenswear. Hedi Slimane later introduced a rock-and-roll, youth-oriented aesthetic, further evolving the brand's historical trajectory within the global luxury market.
