Celine

A Parisian fashion house founded in 1945 by Céline and Richard Vipiana, first as a made-to-measure children's shoe business. It has been part of the LVMH group since 1996 and is headquartered on rue Vivienne in Paris. The Triomphe emblem, two interlaced Cs linked to the Arc de Triomphe, dates from 1973. Michael Rider has been creative director since 2025, after Phoebe Philo (2008-2018) and Hedi Slimane (2018-2024). Since 2017 Celine eyewear has been designed, produced and distributed by Thélios, the LVMH eyewear company; before that it was made under licence by Safilo.
