For the Celine Homme Portrait of an Actor campaign, Levon Hawke, the progeny of Hollywood icons Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, delivers a magnetic performance. At the age of 21 and on the heels of appearing in the mini-series The Crowded Room, Hawke teamed up with Celine’s artistic director, Hedi Slimane, for this stylish affair. Set in the heart of New York, the black-and-white photoshoot channels a relaxed aura, showcasing the Celine man’s affinity for comfort and style.
Levon Hawke for Celine ‘Portrait of an Actor’
The campaign puts the spotlight on casual wear with an effortless charm. Hawke models relaxed-cut jeans, a white tank top, and a denim jacket, embodying the spirit of the Celine man: cool, understated, yet fashion-forward. These elements, combined with his nonchalant poses and the stark cityscape, add depth to the overall narrative, presenting a character that is both approachable and intriguing.
However, the campaign does not limit itself to just casual styles. In a dynamic shift, Celine’s elegant tailoring takes center stage, with Hawke seen sporting a pinstripe suit jacket paired with a striped dress shirt. This blend of formal and casual wear underscores the versatility and broad appeal of the Celine man.
The imagery of the campaign, coupled with Hawke’s curtain haircut and laid-back energy, serves as a nod to the nostalgic ’90s aesthetic. Yet, this is not just a trip down memory lane. It reflects the brand’s ability to reinterpret the past and present it in a contemporary light, proving, once again, Celine’s skill in balancing timeless elegance with modern trends.
