"The Dancing Kid" Spring 2021 Celine Menswear Collection

“The Dancing Kid” is the Spring 2021 Celine Menswear Collection that pays homage to the generation of TikTok.

Hedi Slimane for the Primavera Uomo 2021 collection was inspired by the youngest… hence the name of the show “The Dancing Kid“.

The pandemic has blocked everyone in the house, this is well known, but those who have suffered the most are definitely teenagers.

No more parties, raves and evenings with friends, only smartphones and “bedrooms”…so the generation born in the ‘era of social, ended up getting closer to digital.

The social of the moment? Tik Tok, a real obsession for all the “cool kids“.

And so Slimane has caught, as they say, the “ball to leap” and, even a little challenging the elderly fashion, proposed a collection dedicated to them “the born after the 2000s“.

An unusual association between Celine and the streetwear style at times “exuberant” of contemporary idols.

The video was filmed by a drone in the Paul Ricard Desert Circuit in the south of France, which filmed eccentric models with hair in bright colors (green, blue…), piercings and tattoos.

Some wear a helmet and their attitude is “relaxed”, just like that of a teenager who follows fashion, imitating the “hype” style of his musical idols.

“A Teen Romance“: the collection is inspired by the style of E boys and contemporary skaters, for a result full of references to new-born subcultures.

The collection has a casual, almost shabby look: oversized cardigans, printed jersey skater shorts, women’s trousers, trackies with tiger print sequins, university jackets, polka dot trousers from the ’80s and huge ponchos in heavy knit.

The sartorial touch can be seen in the suit with pleated trousers or in the gold sequin jacket.

In general, the collection is almost nostalgic: the jacket with neon lights and the words “The Dancing Kid” is a wish… maybe next summer we will be back carefree at concerts and beach parties!
