PARIS, June 26 (Reuters) – Celine designer Hedi Slimane despatched out a lineup of bare-chested versions in sheer, unzipped tops and stunning blazers Sunday evening, marking the return of French label to Paris Manner Week’s menswear reveals – and closing the 7 days of situations.
Leggy and very long-haired, they marched down a large runway in sun shades, fingers thrust in entrance pockets, as spotlights blinked.
From sequin-embellished shirts to small-slice, skin-hugging pants and a shimmery crocodile blazer, Celine’s summer months runway presentation was crammed with apparel imbued with an androgynous rock spirit, à la David Bowie.

A long beige coat about a leather jacket paired with an ultra-slim tie and a white shirt additional depth to slip-on footwear and raw edged denims.
Leopard and landscapes of coconut trees patterns appeared on brief sleeve shirts while big necklace plastrons acted as garments.
The sparse concrete halls of the present venue – the Palais de Tokyo, a Manner Week favorite – contrasted with the remarkable configurations Slimane chose as a backdrop for his livestreamed displays throughout the pandemic, with swooping drones and Renaissance castles.
The display drew crowds that swarmed the surrounding streets, hoping to catch a glimpse of South Korean star Park Bo-gum, Lisa from K-pop lady team Blackpink and V, whose serious title is Kim Tae-hyung, the singer and songwriter of BTS.
