Marking a pivotal chapter in its storied history, Celine introduces its inaugural cosmetics venture, Celine Beauté, through the captivating lens of “La Collection de l’Arc de Triomphe” film, starring actress Ever Anderson. Crafted under the artistic direction of Hedi Slimane, who has significantly shaped the brand’s aesthetic since his tenure began, Celine Beauté emerges as a natural progression from the haute parfumerie range launched in 2019.
With Slimane at the helm, the collection exudes a distilled essence of French femininity and allure, traits meticulously woven into the brand’s fabric over the past five years. The highlight of the launch is the “Rouge Triomphe” lipstick, set to make its debut in Fall 2024. This signature piece embodies Parisian chic with its satin finish, encased in a faceted gold sheath adorned with Celine’s couture monogram.
Expanding beyond a singular marvel, the range will include an assortment of luxurious objects and accessories crafted from precious leathers, defining the aesthetic of “Le Rouge Celine” and its timeless beauty rituals. January 2025 will see the addition of 15 satin-finish lipstick shades, including the nuanced “La Peau Nue”, featured prominently in the promotional film.
Hedi Slimane’s commitment to innovation is evident in his creation of a makeup line that marries high performance with sensory pleasure, emphasizing clean beauty principles. The sensory experience is further enriched by the unique texture of the products, reminiscent of haute couture fabrics—an obsession of Slimane’s, now translated into the realm of cosmetics.
Each item in the collection is designed not only as a makeup tool but as a piece of refillable couture, linking back to the elegance of Celine’s fragrance bottles. The design inspiration draws from an eclectic blend of late 18th-century French classicism and Art Deco minimalism, presenting a timeless narrative through modernist eyes.
Celine Beauté is not just a line of products but a manifestation of Slimane’s broader vision for the house, blending traditional luxury with contemporary culture, setting a new standard for what beauty, rooted in heritage and forward-thinking design, can achieve.
