Michael Rider appointed as creative head at Celine fashion house
Michael Rider Takes the Helm at Celine as New Creative Director
Michael Rider, a seasoned fashion industry veteran, has been appointed as the creative director of LVMH-owned luxury house Celine. The announcement was made on LinkedIn by the brand, but no formal announcement has been made regarding the appointment.
Rider's tenure at Celine began in an undisclosed year, where he served as the design director for ready-to-wear, working under Phoebe Philo. He spent nearly a decade in this role before his promotion to creative director. Prior to his time at Celine, Rider worked for four years with Nicolas Ghesquière at Balenciaga.
Rider's predecessor, Hedi Slimane, replaced Phoebe Philo as the creative director of Celine in February 2018. His last collection for Celine was the spring-summer 2025 show, presented during Paris Fashion Week on Sept. 29. However, the reasons behind Slimane's departure from Celine are not discussed in the article.
The first collection for Celine by Michael Rider is expected to be presented in Paris in early 2025. The transition at Celine has been noted, with an upcoming debut campaign indicating that Rider's first collection for the brand is likely to be unveiled soon.
Lara Ewen, a fashion journalist, has written articles about LVMH, including "LVMH sells Off-White to Bluestar Alliance" and "LVMH net profit dropped 14% in H1". However, the article does not provide details about the creative direction Rider intends to take for Celine or any significant events or collections that took place at Celine since Slimane's departure.
The article also does not mention any changes in the management structure of Celine apart from the appointment of Rider as creative director. Furthermore, it does not provide information about the financial status of Celine under Rider's leadership.
As Rider prepares to present his first collection for Celine, fashion enthusiasts and industry insiders eagerly await to see his vision for the iconic brand.
