Celine Homme Winter Ad Campaign

Review of Celine Homme Winter 2025 Ad Campaign by Creative Directors Charles Levai and Kevin Tekinel and Photographer Karim Sadli with models Fallou Tandine and Serkan Deniz

Celine Homme Winter 2025 presents a nuanced evolution under the dual creative directorship of Charles Levai and Kevin Tekinel. Featuring models Fallou Tandine and Serkan Deniz, the campaign emerges at a pivotal moment in Celine’s journey: a bridge between the rock-inflected masculinity of Hedi Slimane’s era and a future vision shaped by Michael Rider’s impending leadership. This feels less like a departure and more like a recalibrated continuation; a campaign that consolidates legacy while opening a stylistic aperture for the brand’s next chapter.

The imagery is deliberately austere: classic Parisian environments of crown molding and grandeur staircases juxtapose leather, layers, and precisely angled lighting to create a rhythm of light and shadow that feels introspective rather than performative. The narrative is quiet; one of internal focus where men reflect in stillness. Models appear both posed and unguarded, their sculpted winter tailoring and layered ensembles grounded by occasional deconstructed touches: a collar undone, a silhouette folded, embody a contemporary gentleman’s ease. The casting of Tandine and Deniz, figures of understated charisma, reinforces this mood: presence without fanfare.

What stands out is the campaign’s tonal coherence. Sadli’s photographic precision pairs seamlessly with Molloy’s editorial styling, where the duo creates atmospheric pacing, alternating between intimate close-ups and broader, sculptural framing. The choice of casting signals a commitment to diversity and nuance, extending Celine’s value of inclusive modernity. That said, the severity of the setting occasionally skirts emotional coolness: a hint of texture, perhaps in fabric or setting, could have tempered the stillness to introduce a warmer counterpoint. Still, the message is clear and consistent: Celine Homme is defined by clarity, craft, and contemplative confidence.

Ultimately, Celine Homme Winter 2025 makes its mark through quiet assertion, offering a sharp thematic throughline of introspection and masculine elegance. This campaign doesn’t just dress a man for winter; it invites him into a reflective inner space, one where style is both armor and expression. It’s the calm before the next creative wave, leaving you poised for what comes next.
