It's Set to Be the Summer of French Riviera Style, According to Celine
The Luxury List is a monthly column on all things luxury, exploring cult items from heritage brands, tapping the foremost experts in the fashion space, and doing deep dives into the investment pieces that are worth it.
We're already primed for a very stylish summer ahead, especially with the release of the Été Celine 2025 collection, which predicts a holiday wardrobe that taps into French Riviera style. For the summer collection, the fashion house was inspired by Saint-Tropez with designs that capture the allure of the South of France. Swimsuits are constructed in gingham-printed Vichy jersey and finished with Triomphe hardware embellishments. Bucket bags are crafted in woven raffia, while travel duffles and small pouches are adorned with nautical anchor prints and leather trim. Clothing is constructed from white and navy crochet, and dark-wash denim is embellished with gold buttons. Footwear takes on the form of leather boat shoes and thong sandals. The colorways revolve around white, navy, red, luggage brown, and azure—a palette that blends in seamlessly with the locale.
In essence, the collection is the epitome of French Riviera fashion. It distills the style of fashion icons, ranging from Brigitte Bardot to Naomi Campbell to Kendall Jenner, who have visited the famed glittering shores. The Celine designs offer a summer 2025 wardrobe with pieces primed for a jet-setting summer itinerary—a baseball hat for early tennis lessons, a denim miniskirt for mornings at the local markets, a Triomphe bikini for days spent on lounge chairs at a beach club overlooking the Mediterranean, and crochet dresses for sunset strolls to dinner. Ahead, shop the Été Celine 2025 collection.
