‘Confidence’ A La Celine

Celine set its Autumn Winter 2026 presentation inside a timber structure in a quiet courtyard behind the Institute of France, home to academies supporting creativity across literature, music, dance, and science. Creative director Michael Rider framed his third season for the house around “confidence”, the kind that comes from instinct rather than calculation, describing it in the show notes as, “Intuition over strategy. Feeling it rather than planning it.”
