Michael Rider just unveiled his first CELINE collection for Printemps 2026 – and it’s not just a debut, it’s a full-circle moment. Back at 16 Rue Vivienne, back in Paris, and back at a house that defines quiet power and enduring style, Rider is clearly feeling all the feels. “Coming home to CELINE in a world that’s changed so much – it’s been emotional,” he shares. “And honestly? A complete joy.”
But make no mistake – this isn’t nostalgia. It’s clarity. CELINE, in Rider’s hands, is still about quality, timelessness, and style – the kind everyone talks about, but few truly nail. He and his team didn’t just design clothes, they translated ideals into a wardrobe with attitude(s) that mirror the way we live now.
“I’ve always loved clothes that grow with you,” he says. “Pieces that mark moments, yes – but also carry you through decades, dinners, daydreams and everything in between.” It’s fashion rooted in memory, movement, and meaning. Not just dressing for the now – dressing for life.
