Leggy and long-haired, they marched down a large runway in sun shades, arms thrust in entrance pockets, as spotlights blinked.

From sequin-embellished shirts to low-cut, skin-hugging pants and a shimmery crocodile blazer, Celine’s summer time runway presentation was full of garments imbued with an androgynous rock spirit, à la David Bowie.

An extended beige coat over a leather-based jacket paired with an ultra-slim tie and a white shirt added depth to slip-on sneakers and uncooked edged denims.
