Celine Fan Accounts @OldCeline and @CurrentCeline Discuss Michael Rider and Phoebe Philo Ahead of Spring 2027 Show

In anticipation of Celine's Spring 2027 presentation, Vogue facilitated a Zoom discussion featuring the creators of two Instagram fan accounts, @OldCeline and @CurrentCeline. Gabrielle Boucinha manages @OldCeline, which boasts nearly 350,000 followers and was established in the summer of 2018, right before Hedi Slimane's appointment and the announcement of Phoebe Philo's exit. Meanwhile, @CurrentCeline, initiated by recent fashion graduate Martina Bait in July 2025 following Michael Rider's debut collection, has attracted over 20,000 followers. Rider, who was part of Philo's team at Celine from 2008 to 2018, now directs the brand with a sporty-sophisticated flair. Their dialogue explored common design principles—such as silhouettes, prints, colors, and tailoring—and highlighted memorable campaigns featuring Joan Didion and Daria Werbowy, as well as a resort shoot with fur footwear by a pool. Both account holders expressed how Philo's and Rider's designs have shaped their personal aesthetics and the vibrant community surrounding their accounts.
