Céline Sunglasses

Pride without the fall

"Give me be the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities!” The quote, which is falsely attributed to Oscar Wilde actually comes from the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright and perfectly fits the style of Celine sunglasses. The models of the French company, which was founded in Paris in 1945 by Céline Vipiana and her husband, Richard, originally specializing in exclusive children's shoes, impress with their strikingly eye-catching contours (Céline CL 41445), the glamorous lines (Céline CL 41391/S), and the eye-catching, provocative, but equally consistent colour gradients (Céline CL 41425/S), coupled with the courage to add a little more edge and frame (CL 41377/S), as is the case with many other brands.

The luxurious designs of the Celine sunglasses collection play with the imagination of the clientele, which means that the saying "caviar to the general" by Shakespeare in Hamlet is tailored to the brand like no other.

Story

After being founded, it took 14 years for the small family-run company to expand its range to women's footwear. The elegant ladies moccasins, in particular, caused a sensation, giving the brand a first taste of life in the spotlight.

By the mid-sixties, those responsible had licked blood and expanded their range to include perfume (1964), leather goods, such as handbags, gloves and belts. The success lead to the international expansion of Céline. The opening of the first Céline boutique in the St. Germain des Prés district of Paris was the logical consequence, especially regarding prêt-à-porter fashion, which debuted in 1969.

After steadily advancing into ever higher spheres of the fashion industry, Dior owner, Bernard Arnault, not only became aware of the French family business, but also acquired the company in 1987, also making radical changes. He directly excluded the founding family, installing the architect Peggy Huynh-Kinh as chief designer, before Céline from 1994 to 1996 was gradually incorporated into LVMH Moët Hennessy - Louis Vuitton SE, which Arnault had headed since 1989. The global market leader in the luxury goods industry, which holds the rights to more than 70 different brands and prestigious names such as Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, Emilio Pucci, Marc Jacobs and Fendi added a new weight to the group. This was also reflected in the fact that Michael Kors took up the challenge as chief designer for a period of four years, before returning to his own creations and to his own company.

The American fashion designer not only helped Céline to new splendor and unimaginable heights with his designs, but also with his association with Hollywood stars before Roberto Menichetti became the creative successor. Although the designer had put the weakening Burberry brand back on track, he failed to build on the successes the French had learned under Kors' creative leadership during his creative period at Céline. Instead, after years of rapid ascent, the company had to deal with its first dry spell, a hurdle that turned out to be higher than those responsible had originally imagined. The resurgence was then due to the designer Phoebe Philo, who switched from Chloé to Céline in 2008 and took the creative helm, radically changing course by removing old stock from the warehouses, canning loss businesses, such as perfume production, and raising Céline to the luxury category - also in the price segment.

In the spring of 2015, with a stroke of genius that made a splash both in the fashion world and off the beaten track, Philo succeeded in promoting the legendary American author and essayist, Joan Didion, as the figurehead of the Celine sunglasses campaign, covering the full product range of the French company at one fell swoop. The former Vogue editor was presented in black oversized glasses, a black shirt and a gold pendant. The shoot was made in Didion's apartment in New York's Upper East Side. She was also featured in the spring/summer resort campaign in the same year. The famous photo of Daria Werbowy in the Corvette alluded to the famous photograph of Didion in her yellow Stingray, which Julian Wasser had shot in 1968 for Life Magazine.

These measures more than resonated with the young female target group and made Céline one of the primary portals of fashion and trends. The sunglasses segment in no way lagged behind in this respect. In fact, the opposite is true: Celine sunglasses do not follow trends, they create them via their unique and distinctive style.

This is valid for the whole range. From the design of the frames and the Celine sunglasses case, to the Celine sunglasses eyewear cloth. In this respect the French leave nothing to chance, which is why the clientele feel that they are well looked after and are more than happy to put their eyes in the experienced hands of Céline eyewear. And the fact that the Safilo Group has phased out the licensing agreement for design, production and worldwide distribution since the end of 2017 hasn't changed the situation.

Whether this will result in an increase in imitations of Celine sunglasses or not is to be seen in the future. Original Celine sunglasses are still relatively easy to distinguish from fake Celine models. First, there is the name of the eyewear brand, which is either on the inside or outside of the eyeglass temple.

The stars and starlets do not have to grapple with Celine sunglasses replicas. The fans include famous names like Irina Shayk who is often spotted wearing the Céline sunglasses Tilda or Céline CL 41732/S. Also, Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Kourtney Kardashian, Miranda Kerr, Demi Lovato, Alessandra Ambrosio, Lena Dunham, Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton are among the proven fans of this brand of sunglasses.
