From design studio beginnings to the creative helm… From 2008 until 2018, before becoming Creative Director, Michael Rider was part of the design team at Celine under Phoebe Philo serving as Design Director of ready-to-wear and contributing closely to the vision that defined an era.
A quiet reminder that when we fall in love with a brand, we’re often connecting with the work of an entire collective, not just one name… So it’s no surprise that those who felt deeply aligned with Phoebe Philo’s Celine are now finding a renewed emotional connection under Michael Rider.
We were already seeing his eye, his sensibility, woven into the foundation of what we loved.
Now it’s simply his turn to lead.

With FW26, @celine ’s Michael Rider continues to build something that feels increasingly rare on the Paris calendar. A wardrobe with a point of view that doesn’t rely on spectacle to land.
This was his third collection for the house, and the clothes are starting to breathe. Sharp tailoring offset by plimsolls and bucket hats, peacoats with slightly raised waists, white footwear cutting through a dark palette. The references are legible but not nostalgic.
The argument being made is that restraint, when considered, makes just as much noise as excess.
