This year she was touted as a fashion icon. She shot a couture video for Vogue. After the Met Gala she ate a hot dog from a street vendor in her custom Versace gown. At the Billboard awards this May, she wore a white Stephane Rolland couture dress with enormous sleeves, channeling an iceberg or maybe an angel. And on the steps of her private plane, she posed in full python — Balmain thigh-high boots, a Rochas trench coat and a bag from her collection, her lips in an absurd pout, her collar standing at attention, staring directly into the camera.
And so, of course, a Celine Dion Collection was to follow.
“Maybe they don’t necessarily like the album that’s going to come out, but maybe they can have a bag that they can hold on to,” Ms. Dion said. “It’s tangible.” This is reasonable: more than 85 percent of Canadian sales of “Encore Un Soir,” her 2016 French language studio album, were in physical, not digital, media. Her fans wanted to cradle the music in their arms, because of course they did.
“Some people take up a sport or a hobby. Some people decide to move somewhere when they have a change of life,” Dave Platel, of Ms. Dion’s management team, said. “And Celine is maybe exploring some of that love she has with fashion, and we’re seeing it more magnified. It’s a place she can unfold herself.”
“Me, my change is that I was going to be strong for myself. And if I show strength, my kids will be strong,” she said. “Because you don’t choose always what you want. Life imposes things on you sometimes.” - Celine Dion
