Four photographs by Gus Van Sant of two models before and after getting dressed for the AW26 Celine Fashion Show

Gus Van Sant for Celine

At Paris Fashion Week this season, Celine enlisted an unexpected collaborator: the filmmaker Gus Van Sant. For the house’s fall 2026 presentation, Van Sant shot a series of portraits of the models appearing in Michael Rider’s latest collection—capturing them both in their everyday street clothes and again in their runway looks.

The project nods directly to Van Sant’s cult photography book 108 Portraits, an influential collection of casting-style Polaroids he made in the early 1990s. In those images actors such as Keanu Reeves appear stripped of Hollywood gloss, their character and potential distilled into a single frame.
