Celine closes Paris Fashion Week with bare-chested models and dazzling blazers

PARIS, June 26 (Reuters) – Celine designer Hedi Slimane sent out a lineup of bare-chested models in sheer, unzipped tops and stunning blazers Sunday night time, marking the return of French label to Paris Fashion Week’s menswear exhibits – and closing the week of gatherings.

Leggy and very long-haired, they marched down a large runway in sunglasses, arms thrust in entrance pockets, as spotlights blinked.

From sequin-embellished shirts to minimal-lower, pores and skin-hugging trousers and a shimmery crocodile blazer, Celine’s summer time runway presentation was crammed with clothing imbued with an androgynous rock spirit, à la David Bowie.

A lengthy beige coat around a leather jacket paired with an ultra-slender tie and a white shirt extra depth to slip-on shoes and uncooked edged jeans.

Leopard and landscapes of coconut trees patterns appeared on small sleeve shirts when massive necklace plastrons acted as dresses.

The sparse concrete halls of the present venue – the Palais de Tokyo, a Fashion Week beloved – contrasted with the remarkable configurations Slimane chose as a backdrop for his livestreamed shows all through the pandemic, with swooping drones and Renaissance castles.

The clearly show 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 real identify is Kim Tae-hyung, the singer and songwriter of BTS.
