An absolute holy grail for ultimate high-fashion collectors. This is a certified, ultra-rare Runway Show Prototype / Sample track jacket from the iconic Spring/Summer 2021 collection cycle:
Designer: Hedi Slimane
Season: PE 21 (Printemps-Été 2021 / Spring-Summer 2021) (⁠image_82.png⁠)
For his SS21 The Dancing Kid presentation, Hedi Slimane completely revolutionized modern luxury by bridging French bourgeois codes with Gen-Z skate and e-boy subcultures. This jacket was manufactured during the active prototyping phase ("PROTO / SAMPLE PP4" dated "11/12/20" – ⁠image_83.png⁠) by the official Unomaglia facility in Italy for styling, design audits, or runway presentation before standard commercial retail lines were finalized.
Draped in a stunning camel/tan colorway, it features athletic navy and white racing stripes along the sleeves (⁠image_79.png⁠). The classic Celine block logo is embroidered cleanly across the chest, but the undisputed crown jewel is the heavy-duty, custom polished silver zipper pull featuring a dangling, solid gold-tone Triomphe logo charm (⁠image_80.png⁠, ⁠image_81.png⁠). This is a rare, museum-tier piece of Hedi Slimane's design lineage.
