Celine Takes Its Summer Codes Straight To The Surf
Summer is here, and Celine is not easing into the season quietly. The house’s Summer 2026 campaign brings its summa-summa-time energy to the surf with models Jesse Rinderknecht, Samuel Funs, and Gabriel Tiercelin carrying the kind of beach-polished attitude that looks expensive before it even says a word.
Photographed by Zoë Ghertner, the campaign sits somewhere between a Riviera escape and a sharp menswear mood board: sunlight, damp hair, striped knits, sporty polos, razor tailoring, ribbed tanks, clean sunglasses, and beach-side posture all moving inside the same Celine frame.
The styling keeps the tension delicious: barefoot sand moments sit next to double-breasted tailoring, while athletic details cut through the gloss. It is not beachwear in the throwaway sense. It is Celine treating summer like a full character study, where a striped rugby polo, a sharp belt, a pendant, or a pair of angular frames can do as much storytelling as the suit.
What makes this one land is the balance. The clothes are crisp, but the mood is not stiff. Jesse Rinderknecht, Samuel Funs, and Gabriel Tiercelin bring a relaxed physicality to the campaign, letting Celine’s summer pieces feel lived-in without losing the house’s clean, high-fashion line.
It is a campaign built for anyone who understands that warm-weather dressing does not have to mean checking out. Sometimes the season wants a beach cruiser, a striped knit, a serious pair of sunglasses, and tailoring sharp enough to cut through the glare.
