Summer Spirit in St. Tropez
Summer Spirit in St. Tropez
The Plein Soleil capsule by Hedi Slimane for CELINE.
As the latest part of the Baie des Anges collection, the brand-new Plein Soleil capsule by CELINE blesses us with a glimmer of St. Tropez spirit for the summer months ahead. The assortment of ready-to-wear items and accessories will be available in selected CELINE stores from April 29th, 2022.
The collection channels the famed understated elegance that both CELINE and the South of France are known for. With pastel tones and floral patterns present throughout, the capsule transports us to a sun-kissed coastline, with striped beach towels and swimwear as accompaniments. The beach-chic feel of the collection is complemented with a craftwork twist, as handknitted crochet dresses and tops are included. To top off the seaside experience, the capsule offers special CELINE editions of the beloved beach games Pétanque and Finnish Keels and even includes a hammock.
As the sun sets over the Mediterranean, the CELINE woman slips out of her beachwear and into a luxurious evening collection. Crafted with the fine materials of jacquard and lamé printed silk, the capsule offers a Bain de Soleil dress, a lingerie top and more for those unforgettable St. Tropez summer nights.
The silhouette also enjoys a plethora of bags, including the house’s classic Panier in various colourways, as well as the Cabas Thais and a calfskin picnic basket. Canvas sneakers, gladiator sandals and acetate sunglasses complete the collection. Modelled by CELINE brand ambassador Suzanne Lindon, the Plein Soleil capsule is the latest in a long line of successes, crafted with the personal touch of Hedi Slimane, the brand’s enigmatic creative director. Available in selected stores from April 29th, CELINE offers you a chance to dress à la mode with this quintessentially French collection – allons à la plage!

The resort capsule by NENSI DOJAKA for Mytheresa.
Nensi Dojaka, winner of the prestigious LVMH Prize, has collaborated with the leading luxury online retailer Mytheresa for an exclusive Resort capsule collection, which will be available globally on April 20th, 2022.
Since completing the Central Saint Martin’s MA course in 2019, Dojaka has been widely regarded as one of the hottest young talents in the fashion world. She has already crafted a distinctly unique aesthetic, incorporating asymmetry, lingerie-style, and intentionally visible seams and straps. This trademark look of sophistication with a measure of tasteful eroticism has been reimagined for the Mytheresa collection: whilst retaining the beautiful craftwork that has made Dojaka an international star, the Resort collection has introduced a splash of colour into the mix. With shades of orange, turquoise and pink entering the fray, the collection has a distinctly summery feel. This tropical spirit can be seen too in the inclusion of figure-hugging party dresses 90s cut-outs, wrap skirts and swimsuits among the collection’s 60 ready-to-wear pieces. As always with Dojaka’s work, the beauty in the collection is its effortless harmony between truly innovative designs and genuine wearability.
This venture marks the next exciting step in Albanian-born Dojaka’s remarkable ascendancy; having produced three collections with the Fashion East collective, she was invited to be NEWGEN recipient by the British Fashion Council for her Fall 2022 collection, which received glowing reviews. Now this latest collaboration enables Dojaka to partner herself with one of the world’s most prestigious luxury e-commerce platforms.
As well as garnering acclaim from several of the fashion’s most revered institutions, Dojaka’s collections have also won the affection of various global stars, with Camille Charriere and Jourdan Dunn recently donning her designs, and Zendaya even having her own bespoke dress made. The launch of the collaborative release will come within a dedicated editorial story directed by Julian Paul, Chief Creative Officer of Mytheresa, shot by Jana Geberding. Available globally on April 20th.
