Celine's Rider finds his thread in Paris with flower power and foulards

PARIS (AP) — Michael Rider’s second collection for Celine, shown Sunday at the Parc de Saint-Cloud, confirms his approach of weaving together the brand's pasts.

Rider played with contrasts, using Seventies flower power and modern restraint. Oversize men’s suiting grounded the collection with sharp tailoring. Quirky touches, like multicolored arm socks, added edge. While some may want a radical change, Rider’s show suggests confidence in blending past influences into a new language.
