This past week, Bella Hadid stepped out in a deceptively simple look: a white hooded zip-up, a tank top with a striped neckline and hem, baggy jeans, a pair of fuzzy slippers, and light blue socks. But look closely, and you’ll notice an emblem stamped on the tank top, marking it as Celine. Specifically, it’s from Michael Kors’s mens winter jackets time at the brand from 1997 to 2004—the house’s most slept-on era.
While Phoebe Philo’s Old Céline takes up plenty of social media real estate, as does Hedi Slimane’s current Celine, Kors’s has always been less loud. Yet, it still packs a relevant punch. (His spring 2000 collection, full of lime green chunky knits and beachy PVC backpacks, still circulates on social media). Each of his collections are Kors to the core, with designs that speak to the monied noughties, but with a tasteful restraint. The former is seen in pieces like a fur-trimmed brocade puffer jacket from fall 2001, the latter in a super slick pair of black leather flares from spring 2000. I’ve always thought Kors’s Celine is embodied by a well-traveled Russian womens winter jackets oligarch’s wife, who most likely has a helicopter and an off-shore bank account. She has a deep appreciation for the sanitized-yet-elevated Western tastes (think: riding boots with a leather skirt), but loves a fat hit of the flashy maximalism that only existed in Russia’s late ’90s. Essentially, Kors’s Celine is the most luxurious rendition of the noughties. It’s saucy but it’s classic.
