BTS: In a recent development, Hedi Slimane, the creative director of the renowned brand CELINE, announced the cancellation of the brand’s show, scheduled for July 2nd in Paris. BTS superstar V, who was meant to be present at the event, has left fans anxious for his well-being.
BTS’s V in Paris: A Cause for Concern
V had set off from South Korea for Paris on June 30th to grace the CELINE Homme Summer ’24 show. The confirmation of his attendance came via posts about the show and Paris on his Instagram story. However, following the escalation of civil unrest in Paris, his French fans have expressed worries over his safety amidst the volatile atmosphere.
A City in Turmoil: The Heart of the Matter
The heart of France, Paris, has been beleaguered by nationwide chaos following the tragic death of Nahel, a 17-year-old of Algerian-Moroccan descent. He was fatally shot by a police officer during a routine traffic stop, an incident that was caught on video, igniting public outrage against law enforcement’s racial bias and violence. Despite the officer facing a formal investigation for voluntary homicide, the public is vehemently protesting systematic racism and inequality in the French police system. The ensuing riots have seen over 2,000 vehicles set ablaze, and numerous shops vandalised.
CELINE’s Stand: Safety Over Showmanship
Amid this turbulent backdrop, Slimane took to Instagram to communicate the cancellation of the CELINE menswear show, underlining the priority of safety over the event. He emphasised the disappointment surrounding the cancellation, given the significant efforts and preparations undertaken by the fashion house. Yet, he upheld the importance of ensuring the safety of his team and guests amidst the unpredictability of the current scenario.

In conclusion, while the cancellation of the CELINE show is a setback for the fashion industry, it unequivocally underlines the importance of prioritising human life and safety over all else. As the world watches Paris with bated breath, we hope for a swift resolution to the unrest and a safe return for all caught in the midst of it.
