Sorry, CELINE might be better than Céline

Snob Takes is the place for crazy thoughts, a place for debate, and a place where Highsnob's editors can take some of the most hyped, polarizing, or loved items and take them for a spin. This time around, Tora Northman makes the case for the new CELINE.

Before I get into things, I want to make one thing clear: I love Phoebe Philo. Her tenure at Céline is amazing in so many ways, but I could never see myself in the ready-to-wear during her time at the fashion house. I'm not a Céline woman. I am riddled with chaotic Gen-Z energy, and have never been that classy Céline gal with her effortlessly chic lifestyle but I've always admired from afar, never quite crossing the line from observer to customer.

That was, until Hedi Slimane took over.

No one does tailoring and shape quite like Mr. Slimane, and I'll tell you how I know. I was wandering around Selfridges one evening, and there they were. The perfect pair of jeans. You may think I'm exaggerating, but I would call myself a denim enthusiast: I've scoured vintage shops in Japan, dived deep into LA's rails of old denim, spent hundreds of dollars on Vetements x Levi's, but I wouldn't give any of the pairs I've previously owned the "perfection" stamp.

These were different.

Before you doubt me, I'll tell you that I'm five feet and four inches tall. I am not a CELINE model (but I could be — call me!) and always have trouble with trousers because they're always either way too long, waist is too big, thighs are too tight – you name it. These ticked every box.

Now let me go into detail about the technical aspects of the jeans for those that are interested.

These may be my first pair of CELINE jeans, but there's no doubt there will be more. I'm already eyeing the baggy pair from Slimane's latest Summer 2022 CELINE HOMME collection, and plenty more on the womenswear side. It's safe to say my obsession isn't going anywhere.

I may never be a Céline woman, but I am absolutely a CELINE girl.
