LVMH may feel even more pressure to keep Slimane after talks with another rare talent — Alessandro Michele — fell apart, according to sources, leading the former Gucci designer to take up a role at Mayhoola’s Valentino. Meanwhile, LVMH’s Givenchy label has yet to name a designer since parting ways with creative director Matthew Williams in January. In December 2022, Dion revealed she had been diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that cause muscle stiffness and painful muscle spasms. In her Prime Video documentary, directed by Academy Award nominee Irene Taylor, the “Power of Love” singer declares, “My voice is the conductor of my life,” although, recently, “it’s been a struggle” to do what she loves most. Prime Video unleashed the film’s eye-opening trailer on Thursday, May 23, showing archival and behind-the-scenes footage of Dion in her prime as a world-famous superstar, along with new interviews in which the five-time Grammy-winning icon grapples with her rare disorder. In 2008 Céline produced her first film for what was to become CauseCentric Productions (CCP), founded in 2012.

At the heart of the Céline fashion house, successive creative directors have developed the brand’s style collection after collection. When he arrived in 2004, Roberto Menichetti proposed clean, sensuous cuts before Ivana Omazic took over a year later and restored the original sportswear vibe. After the 2008 takeover by LVMH, world number 1 in all-things luxury, designer Phoebe Philo was named as creative director, and revived the chic minimalist style reminiscent of the company’s beginnings. The many different models of handbags she has designed for the brand have made a major contribution to the renown currently enjoyed by Céline, especially the Trapèze bag, recognisable by its wings that can be tucked in. Céline is also synonymous with muses who perfectly embody the spirit of the brand – a subtle blend of strength and fragility, of elegance and a natural look. After Daria Werbowy and octogenarian Joan Didion, Céline’s new muse is Karly Loyce from Martinique.

In December 2022, the Falling Into You artist revealed that she had been diagnosed with her incurable neurological disease in a tearful video shared on her Instagram account. “I want you all to know I’m not giving up,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. The trailer continues with a montage of snippets showing her performances during past tours and singing in the recording booth. In addition, LVMH foundation created the “young creators LVMH award”, an international competition opened to French and international beaux-arts students.[78] Each year, six grants are allocated to the winners.

After decades of snapping up luxury houses and real estate to expand his edge on competitors, 75-year-old Arnault and his children have become increasingly focused on retaining their access to creative talent, as well. A unique talent Slimane may be, but Kering’s Saint Laurent offers a case study in how a brand can continue to thrive in his wake. Following the designer’s 2016 departure, the brand gradually updated its womenswear collections and products under his successor, Anthony Vaccarello.

To this end Céline has taken a variety of roles such as sustainability ambassador, guest jewelry designer, advisor, and spokesperson for a variety of humanitarian, environmental, educational, and RSE/CSR initiatives. Céline Cousteau comes from an iconic family yet the story of the women is rarely told. Like an iceberg, if we only pay attention to the 10% that is above the water, we are missing out on a whole picture. Through Céline’s own experiences, alongside that of her grandmother’s and mother’s, discover three generations and a lineage of 70 years of female explorers as Céline brings you on a very personal voyage of what it is to be a woman in the field. Opening with an archival clip of Dion belting into a microphone — then asking, “Is the sound man OK?” with a smile — the familiar notes of her 2002 hit “I’m Alive” play as the pop superstar talks about her passion for singing.

Plenty of buyers of Celine’s Triomphe bags and monogrammed canvas cardholders are unlikely to know who Slimane is, after all, even if they appreciate the brand he’s effectively made his own. “There’s a normalisation of growth right now that has led LVMH to become more cost-conscious. It could be more difficult to justify having a small brand where [the designer] is getting whatever they want; it can create tensions,” HSBC analyst Aurélie Husson-Dumoutier said. That can lead to big results and fast, but only when the investment dollars are flowing freely. Since Slimane joined Celine, teams have spent countless hours, and company funds, ferrying samples back and forth to his home in St. Tropez, where he regularly holes up.
