On May 22, 2014, this event marked as the first time for Céline’s collection to be shown on a runway outside from its Paris home. To mark this special occasion, Céline made two exclusive silk tops, silk scarves and the iconic mini tie bag in special colors for China (pictures shown below). The designer, Phoebe Philo says “I wanted to approach the collection from the gut, for it to be touched by human hands, wild, tender and strong”.
Céline has been expanding its presence in China through their stores in Beijing and Chengdu. Later next year, their flagship store will be scheduled to open in Plaza 66, Shanghai.
