Michael Rider debuts as Creative Director of Celine presenting the Spring 2026 collection in Paris
by Gabriel Córdoba Acosta
From the moment it was announced that Michael Rider would be taking the creative reins of CELINE, we knew something big was coming. And he didn’t disappoint. His debut was not just a seasonal presentation, but a statement of intent. A collection that exudes freshness, confidence, and a desire to write a new page in the history of the Maison.
With this proposal, CELINE recovers that special energy that made it a reference during the Phoebe Philo era. There are subtle echoes of her, yes – above all in the clean approach and sensitivity to the feminine and masculine silhouette – but Rider is not just looking back: his gaze is forward, towards a fashion designed for today and for those who want to dress with intention, without shouting.
The Spring 2026 proposal, presented in Paris just before the start of Haute Couture, mixes timelessness with small touches of fantasy. Everything has been taken care of down to the last millimetre, from the choice of fabrics to the accessories that complete the looks and, without making a fuss, make the difference. It is a line with character, but also with soul.
On the men’s side, Rider offers a confident and sharp proposal, playing with volumes and details: leather jackets with embroidery that add complexity and richness without excess; long coats with pronounced shoulders and fitted waists combined with trousers that fit the body shape; and tailoring that ranges from contemporary executive style to British country air, depending on the fabrics and tones used.
Inside this universe, not everything is rigid. There is also room for calm, with rich knitwear, oversized sweatshirts, bloomers that have a natural drape, and sneakers with almost invisible soles that invite relaxation without compromising style.
Michael Rider not only introduces himself to the world as CELINE’s new creative director with this first show but also demonstrates that he understands its DNA and knows how to carry it into the future. If this work is the beginning, what’s to come is promising – and very much so.
