"The same spirit infused Michael Rider's debut collection for Celine, an adroit reimagining of Celine's past, whirling through known and unknown histories to create a fusion for the now that triggered plenty of nostalgic memories of bygone fashion moments, and gave the audience plenty to smile about. Having worked at Celine under Phoebe Philo 15 years ago, Rider described his return to the house as "a complete joy" - which seemed infectious."
"It was literally translated to his reworking of Celine's Phantom Luggage bag, first introduced in 2011 - a ghost of the past (it says it in the name) reincarnated as the New Luggage, its side now bisected with the wide 'grin' of a curving zip. That's the simplest, most human thing, and a pretty small detail in a show that was satisfyingly crammed with ideas, yet somehow it leapt out and into most critic's reviews."
Smiling triggers endorphins and neuronal signals that lift the lips, and that muscular contraction further stimulates endorphins, dopamine and serotonin, making people scientifically happier. Positivity-driven smiling imagery permeates contemporary culture, with watchmakers setting dials to 10:10 and drivers adjusting hand positions to evoke pleasant expressions. Michael Rider's debut collection at Celine reimagines the house's past, blending known and obscure histories into nostalgic, modern designs. Rider reworked the 2011 Phantom Luggage into the New Luggage, featuring a curving zip that forms a wide 'grin' and transforms a small detail into an attitude-shifting, desire-evoking gesture. The New Luggage is available in multiple colours and sizes.
