"CELINE" Hedi Slimane Design Compact Silhouette Wool Knit

Founded in Paris in 1945, the Maison has refined its core wardrobe standards based on elegance that accentuates white space and refinement expressed through materials and tailoring. We will be showcasing exquisite pieces that quietly embody the unique atmosphere of the Maison.

This exceptional wool knit features a stripped-down crew neck and exudes the tension of modern Celine.

The logo on the neck tag is written in CELINE rather than CÉLINE, with no accent above the E, meaning this product is positioned after the logo update that took place in September 2018. Furthermore, the tag layout with the product number printed on it, the official domain name, and the agency name indicating official domestic import further strengthen the authenticity of the date information, making this a piece that speaks directly of the value of the Hedi Slimane era.

What CELINE emphasized during this period was not loose minimalism, but compact classics that aligned the body and the outfit's center of gravity, and basics like knitwear were where they really stood out. The pieces didn't rely on excessive decoration, but instead created elegance through the open neckline, the amount of ribbing, and the snug fit of the sleeves, which instantly straightened your posture and naturally connected you to a mood that reinterpreted the Parisian bourgeoisie in a modern way.

Looking at the details, first of all, the round neck is neither too deep nor too shallow, so that the collar of the inner layer does not interfere, and the line does not become muddy even when tucked under a shirt or a thin cut-and-sew, and the clean look is enhanced just by the neck area. The design does not drop too much from the shoulders to the sleeves, and the width of the body is not unnecessarily expanded, so the fabric does not gather under a jacket, which meshes with the idea of ​​Hedi Slimane's era of layering to enhance the complete look.

The hem and cuffs feature wide ribbing that acts as a drawstring, giving the body a flat appearance while neatly raising the contours, creating a simple yet balanced look without feeling overwhelmed. The knit fabric has a fine, evenly spaced stitch, maintaining a calm appearance that seems to absorb light, while also having a smooth texture that feels easy to touch, clearly demonstrating a direction that preserves only high quality within basic styles.

In terms of styling, it looks great worn under a neatly tailored suit or a long coat, with the ribbing at the neck and hem balancing the overall centre of gravity, and when paired with a leather outer layer, creating tension between the hard materials, the intersection of Hedi Slimane's rock and classic styles naturally emerges. Choosing bottoms with a clean surface, such as slacks or neat wool trousers, will make the serenity of the knit stand out even more.

Please take this opportunity.
