“Totally excited.” Celine cancels her fashion show in Paris due to riots

Many events have been canceled in recent days due to unrest in France following the death of Nahel, a 17-year-old teenager who was shot and killed by a police officer on June 27. After Mylène Farmer’s concerts at the Stade de France, it’s designer Hedi Slimane’s turn to close the doors at the Celine menswear show, scheduled for Sunday, July 2, at the Gaîté Lyrique in Paris. In a text shared on Instagram, he first highlighted his “great disappointment” at having to go ahead with the cancellation of his show, however, citing “securityof his teams amid the uncertain evolution of “these very serious disorders.”

However, the man in thin jeans and dark glasses pointed out the indecency of holding such an event under these conditions. “A fashion show in Paris, while France and its capital are thus (mourning) and broken, just from my point of view seems inconsequential and completely out of place,” he wrote in his message, urging his community to show “prudence”. Hedi Slimane, who signed his mission, left no room for debate, closing all comments under his publication.

“They are sons, not robbers”

While all of France is the scene of increasingly violent protests, stars are not mincing their words to express their outrage. Star footballer M’Bappe was one of the first to speak. “I have offended my France,” he wrote on Twitter. And the French actor Mathieu Kasowitz added on the verge of tears. “As it can be seen, there are some people who have not yet understood that they are young people in front of them, they are sons, they are bandits, they are not criminals, they have no weapons. “. Nahel’s funeral was held on Saturday July 1st in Nanterre, Aux de Seine, and was well attended.
