Meline Teddy Jacket is a shirt trait in the Milady Maker NFT collection, depicting a red and cream two-tone varsity-style jacket modelled after the Teddy Western Classique jacket produced by Celine under creative director Hedi Slimane. The name combines "Milady" and "Celine," following the collection's convention of renaming brand references with an "M" prefix.
Background
Celine is a French luxury fashion house founded in Paris in 1945. Hedi Slimane, the French designer previously known for his tenure at Dior Homme and Saint Laurent, was appointed creative director of Celine in 2018.[1] Slimane's Celine collections drew heavily on Americana, rock music, and California youth culture, and introduced the Teddy jacket as a recurring silhouette across multiple seasons.
The Teddy Western Classique is a varsity-style jacket characterized by a contrasting yoke panel across the shoulders and chest, snap-button front closure, ribbed cuffs, and arrow-shaped trim detailing at the pockets — a design element derived from Western wear conventions. The red and cream colorway depicted in the Meline Teddy Jacket trait is among the most recognizable versions of the design. The jacket circulated widely in fashion-forward online communities and resale markets, becoming associated with a particular strand of luxury streetwear sensibility that intersects with the Milady Maker aesthetic.
