The official CELINE thread

[SirGrotius]

Ngl, I’ve missed most of this battle, but that jacket looks good on him. Unfortunately, I think mine, even at 44, is a bit too voluminous for my liking and will only be brought out in the dead of winter with a roll neck underneath etc.

You can debate the aesthetic and the clothes IN the pictures all you will, that will always remain very subjective depending on you diggin' this style of clothing or not.

Rating the quality of pictures might also be relatively subjective but it's easier to do as there is a lot of comparative material out there. Apart from a couple of 'OK' photos, the bulk of this is very uninspired, forced and artificial. None of them really capture the essence of what Hedi is trying to capture with his clothes and style. They are too clean, too sterile and lack a certain genuineness.

Based on this snippet, I would not buy any photo book of him.

Have you paid that guy the money for the Celine jeans you had stolen?
Or do you need more time to steal more car radios in the Marseille slums where you live?
Just pathetic.
You like to act tough and cool on your ig and forums but you are already known as one of the biggest clowns ever.

you’ve a lot of picture of me
I see that you’re a fan
I will send you a autographed picture
♥️ Forza massilia ♥️

Your need to make some declaration about this is funny to me.

None of them really capture the essence of what Hedi is trying to capture with his clothes and style. They are too clean, too sterile and lack a certain genuineness.

Please enlighten us about what Hedi is trying to capture with his clothes and style. You feel so comfortable speaking for Hedi, but I doubt you've actually read a single thing he has said about his philosophy on style and design.

 

[Jack3tjunkie]

Maybe you should take a chill pill, assume less and be less of a dick. That would be a good start in any conversation going forward.

For a designer priding himself to take his inspiration from the street, youth cultures and subcultures like rock and roll, punk, etc he sure as hell captures none of that, other than a highly stylized plastic and artificial impression of that. You can debate it's his Parisian chic or love for for visual art but it does not take away the fact these are mostly 'meh' pictures. We're talking about the pictures, not the clothes.

Reading between the lines, it is obvious what your intentions are. You thought you saw an opportunity to show off your supposed "good taste", and how much you think you know better than Hedi in what he is trying to accomplish. It is one thing to not like what he's doing, it is a totally different thing to speak for him when you're ignorant on the matter.

You have unfounded confidence in your beliefs, yet absolutely nothing to back it up. You're the literal definition of a dilettante. Meanwhile, Hedi's photographs have been part of numerous exhibitions.

Sorry, what have you accomplished to give you any authority on this matter?

 

[Conan04]

You spend all your time on IG making fun of people wearing Celine with your friend Rire but we all know your are just two jealous haters.
Your IG profile was just a bunch of pics taken in Celine stores, Celine items that you never wear (because you have to return them as you are a broke french guy living in Marseille slums) and pictures taken from Celine line-sheets sent to you by some SAs (just to pretend you are some sort of fashion insider and get a couple of likes, pathetic).
Why don't you post some pics of you rocking all those rare python boots worn in the streets and not inside your tacky house? Oh right, you don't even really wear that stuff in your everyday life, otherwise the shoes will get used and you cannot return them to Celine.
In your daily life you dress up just like your fellow purse snatchers from your town.
What a poser you are, dressed up like a fake rockstar at home !

Good choice !
I love this picture of me
I was young and beautiful

whats happening with that delusional daydream show?

 

[Jack3tjunkie]

Ignorant on the matter? I'd like to see you counter me on my beliefs where he get his inspiration and let's see what is different. Be a good dog and go fetch me an interview where Hedi claims something drastically different to be his main inspiration.

And if you would actually seen any of his exhibitions or older material, you would immediately agree that the snippet of the pictures posted a couple of pages ago is rather poor material. None of the grittiness or authentic feel is represented in them pictures. Literarily, none...

But you are too busy with blindly jacking off on random Hedi videos, running assumptions, insulting others and having new accounts like Jesper V wetting your asshole while liking posts of someone's single occupation is to run through instagrams, facebooks and other shenanigans to win arguments. Liking any of that kind of content tells a lot about your values.

let me ask you... what have you accomplished to be an authority on the manner?
Or actually, don't bother answering, I'm not THAT petty minded to use that as an argument.

If you would have actually seen any of his exhibitions, you would still want to find a reason to make your same arguments. That's how transparent your intentions are. You had zero interest in talking photography, period. For you, it was never about photography.

You talk about grittiness as if that is the only thing that Hedi's photography or design is about. You wouldn't know authenticity if it slapped you in the face.

let me ask you... what have you accomplished to be an authority on the manner?

That's the difference between you and I. I don't spread misinformation under the guise of some objective truth. You really have no clue about what you're talking about in terms of Hedi or photography. You're at the peak of mount stupid.

But you are too busy with blindly jacking off on random Hedi videos, running assumptions, insulting others and having new accounts like Jesper V wetting your asshole while running through instagrams, facebooks and other shenanigans to win arguments.

You and Claude both have some weird obsession with masturbation. I'm starting to feel that it is projection.

 

[Jack3tjunkie]

Words of grandeur, yet, brings no arguments or insights to the table.
Hollow authoritarian posts refuting to provide rationale.
Adversarial for entertainment purposes.
Calls others transparent.
The irony.


I'll wait for that interview you still need to fetch me, and while we're at it, provide me some additional insight on Hedi's photography. Tell me how the single reason Hedi's work got any traction in the first place was NOT his knack for authenticity and rawness combined with his sense for fashion, fashion industry and focus on subcultures. Hurr durr mothafucka. Tell me, I eagerly await your insight.

Black/white high contrast photography has been done by 100s others before and after him. Tell me why he's any different. I'll tell you, it's thanks to his composition, style, aesthetics and topics like individuality and subcultures. Yet, not every series of photos is created equally so let's focus on the posted pictures, which is the topic at hand.

Teach me how the pictures posted are not style over substance or how you even remotely think they are better than his other work. Show me.

Geometry in the composition is not his usual style either. Tell me why it's not true.

The only thing that is ok is the balance and framing, the elements are relatively well arranged although some backgrounds are poorly chosen but generally the object of attention is well positioned.

But none of these technicalities really matter at all if the picture itself radiates zero emotion. Tell me anything else because at the end of the day, I don't really give a **** about technicalities if the photo does not speak to me.

Helpeth me out of the valley of despair, O mighty knower of all of Hedi's photography.
Don't tell me I know jack ****, tell me why I'm wrong and I'll consider you a big boy going forward.

Nice argument, unfortunately I had sexual intercourse with your mother

[ScrubbyDoo]

Finally bought some Dylan's, was a bit hesitant cause they're velvet but I've wanted some for a while and the price was too good to pass. Also have quite a few things coming in the mail this weekend: Viscose shirts, dress shirts, few pairs of trousers, Lou jeans, houndstooth coat + some Hedi SLP stuff.
My closet would be nowhere near as big if not for irresponsible 3am purchases.
