Celine’s Spring Summer 2027 Menswear Collection Redefines Modern Dressing
French tailoring meets eclecticism in Celine SS27, as Michael Rider continues to stride with confidence for his first dedicated menswear show, presented at Paris Fashion Week.
At Celine, Michael Rider is loosening the reins. For the French house’s Spring Summer 2027 menswear collection, presented at Tennis Club de Paris on June 28, 2026, the artistic director unveiled his first-ever standalone men’s show, marking a decisive move away from co-ed presentations after two years since his appointment.
In an era where fashion thrives on disruption and irony, Rider’s Celine stands out for its sincerity. Season after season, he remains committed to designing for the real life. His confidence is palpable, especially in this newest collection that featured garments that felt destined to live beyond the runway. As he puts it, “Enjoying what we do in the studio, and desiring it ourselves, all of it, the clothes and the characters.” On the runway, it comes alive in the mix of sharp tailoring, French decadence, and Rider’s eclectic sensibility; pieces you’ll want to wear time after time, even in the seasons that follow after.

A play of silhouettes
If there is one takeaway, Rider knows how to make silhouettes work. This new collection thrives on contrasts, leaning hard into sharp tailoring and airy fabrications. He doubles down on the razor-slim silhouette, further cementing the skinny trousers renaissance. Paired with precise tailoring, asymmetrical tops, or slouchy knitwear, they felt contemporary rather than stuck in nostalgia.
Later on, he introduced lightness through flowy balloon trousers and cape-like coats, each offset by well-tailored shirts, flared cropped pants, and figure-hugging knits. There’s a pattern here: sharp meets soft, strong meets tender – exploring the tension between structure and movement all at once.
New ways to wear the classics
At the hands of Rider, familiar garments can feel entirely new. Here, sweaters were transposed into scarves, bags slung over the neck like necklaces worn backwards, and gloves became part of the look away from the hands. Even the slightest of tucks or pop of collar can change a look almost immediately. There are no rules in his books and that’s how his designs truly feel expressive.
Fun hats, fringes, and more
The accessories take on a more eclectic route, swinging the collection into another territory. Fabrics bunched up and tied together took shape as hats, fringes swept across the face, while belts were put on asymmetrically – they all fit as pieces that complete the puzzle. It’s weird, cool, controlled, and almost chaotic all at once, yet he never once loses the plot; each piece feels considered, and plays perfectly into his sharp vision of Celine and modern dressing.
Next season’s coveted shoes and bags
Alongside fresh crops of barely-there sandals, pointy boots, and trail-inspired sneakers, the collection introduces a new partnership with Reebok. The sports brand’s lifestyle sneaker is refined and then beaten up to create that lived-in look, arriving in white, black, and brown.
Then came along the bags that haggled between relaxed and polished. The same journal-shaped clutches from the Spring Summer 2026 collection reappear along with new silhouettes from slouchy crescent-shaped shoulder bags to supersized ones hugged over one arm.
A splash of colour
French tailoring grounds the collection, and colours become the pulse. Vibrant blue, rich oxblood, saturated green, and punchy magenta flooded the runway. Zebra prints painted blue trousers and spots of black tainted a pair in yellow, punctuating joy and delight in summer dressing.
