WILL MICHAEL RIDER REVIVE CELINE'S LOST MAGIC?

Celine (or should we say Céline) under Phoebe Philo, was nothing short of a fashion revolution. Philo’s designs didn’t just offer beauty—they tapped into a deeper understanding of what women truly needed in a male-dominated industry, allowing them (us) to express individuality. The Ceiling’s Lara vividly remembers the first time she truly experienced Philo’s work. “It wasn’t just about the aesthetics; it was about how her clothes spoke to a new kind of femininity—smart, practical, and deeply empowering. One defining memory stands out: the thrill of buying Philo’s iconic red sock glove boots with my very first paycheck—a bold start to my fashion journey. And after all these years, I still wear them to this day.”
