Celine has canceled its spring 2024 men's show in Paris due to ongoing unrest following the police killing of a teenager, which has resulted in nightly rioting and violence. The fashion house cited safety concerns for guests and the team as the reason for the cancellation. Other fashion events, including Patou and Alaïa fashion shows, are still scheduled for Sunday, while Paris Couture Week is set to begin on Monday. The unrest was sparked by the killing of a 17-year-old motorist by police, leading to nationwide protests and clashes with law enforcement.
