MUSIC HAS ALWAYS BEEN a constant in Hedi Slimane’s lexicon. His party stage lineup, held in celebration of the 57th Grammy Awards, included Sunflower Bean singer/ bassist Julia Cumming (who has twice graced Saint Laurent’s runways) as well as DJ sets by Slimane’s friends, Jonathan Pierce (from The Drums) and Ioanna Gika (of Io Echo). Even now at Celine, his runway shows often feature commissioned music. The seeds for Slimane’s passion for music planted in his youth after being gifted a copy of David Bowie’s David Live album, and it was only a matter of time that all his loves would collide in a heady concoction of keen aesthetics and pure aural pleasure.
Sure enough, set to the tune of a specially commissioned extended version of LCD Soundsystem’s “Too Much Love”, the first Celine wireless headphones made their debut on the brand’s Summer 2024 womenswear runway. On the models, they were meant as stylish accessories, but boy, they set imaginations running.
