About Celia B Designer
Few designers have created a visual universe as instantly recognisable as Celia Bernardo, founder and creative director of Celia B. From the very beginning, her work has celebrated fashion as a source of optimism, personal expression and emotional connection. Each collection is an invitation to embrace colour without reservation, to dress with confidence and to rediscover the joy of shining through her designs.
Born in Asturias, Celia grew up surrounded by nature and a rich visual culture that continues to shape her creative language. Her fascination with fabrics, travel and different cultures led her to found Celia B in Shanghai in 2012, creating a brand that soon set itself apart from the minimalist trends dominating the industry. In contrast to restraint, she embraced exuberance. In the face of uniformity, she championed individuality.
Their design philosophy is rooted in the belief that clothing has the power to transform not only our appearance, but also how we feel. Colour, prints and silhouettes are never merely decorative elements: they are narrative tools and expressions of personality. Each garment is designed to evoke emotions, spark conversation and make every moment special.
Travel has always been one of Celia’s greatest sources of inspiration. Rather than reproducing destinations literally, she immerses herself in the colours, traditions, craftsmanship and landscapes from around the world, before translating them into collections that feel global and, at the same time, unmistakably her own. The result is a visual language all of her own, in which handcrafted details, bold combinations and unexpected silhouettes coexist with a natural, effortless style of dressing.
Today, Celia B has become an internationally recognised brand, available at leading retail outlets across Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia, whilst building a global and loyal community of women who identify with its aesthetic. Celebrities, influencers and women from a wide variety of backgrounds have embraced the brand not only for its distinctive image, but also for the confidence and positivity it represents.
Despite its international reach, the brand retains a deeply personal character. Each collection reflects Celia’s curiosity, optimism and instinctive approach to design. Rather than following each season’s trends, she creates a timeless world that evolves organically without losing sight of its DNA: colour, personality and joie de vivre.
For Celia Bernardo, fashion is about emotion. It is about celebrating individuality, creating memories and giving women permission to be exactly who they are. In a world that often leans towards uniformity, her work continues to remind us that getting dressed can be an act of optimism and that joy is, perhaps, the most timeless luxury of all.
Collection lines
For her debut on the catwalk at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid, Celia B presents ‘Indian Summer’, her Spring/Summer 2027 collection.
The collection takes its name from the expression used to describe the last warm days of summer, when the season seems reluctant to end and one’s memories remain filled with landscapes, journeys and moments that are still vivid. But ‘Indian Summer’ is also a nod to another story deeply linked to the brand’s origins: that of the Asturian ‘Indianos’ who returned home after years in distant lands, bringing with them new ways of understanding colour, craftsmanship, architecture and beauty.
That spirit of travel is also part of Celia Bernardo’s story. Born in Asturias and having lived in Shanghai for many years, the designer has built a creative universe characterised by the constant discovery of cultures, textiles and traditions from around the world. Like a 21st-century ‘indiana’, she transforms every experience into a new source of inspiration that ultimately finds its way into her collections.
True to this philosophy, all Celia B’s prints are personally designed by Celia herself, a practice that has defined the brand’s identity in recent years. Each design is born from references gathered during her travels, reinterpreted through her own graphic language where colour, optimism and exuberance take centre stage.
Indian Summer celebrates precisely that moment when memories of summer still linger. A collection that speaks of nostalgia without sacrificing joy; of returning home without leaving behind everything we have learnt; and of understanding fashion as a passport capable of bringing together cultures, stories and emotions in a single garment.
For her first fashion show in Madrid, Celia B thus reaffirms what has always defined the brand: travel as the source of creativity, colour as a universal language, and individuality as the most authentic form of expression.
