CELINE'S ARTISTIC DIRECTOR, IVANA OMAZIC ON THE COLLABORATION
“Having traveled extensively throughout Asia, I have found that Asian women have become more active and have obtained more freedom in modern society. Today, I am delighted to have worked closely with Song Hye Kyo for this new creation and to be a part of an innovative project that opens up our company onto the world. I sincerely believe this bag represents the new voice of Asian women.”
THEIR COLLABORATION
For Fall-Winter 2007, CELINE has teamed up with Song Hye Kyo, producing a new version of its Bittersweet bag, that combines both innovation and globalized fashion. The idea was first conceived when Song Hye Kyo, a young and talented Korean actress, spotted the iconic Bittersweet model in a CELINE store. Totally infatuated by its look, Song Hye Kyo decided to use its existing shape and to reinterpret it according to her own whimsical trendy tastes. The creative process for this bag lasted several months. Several months during which Song Hye Kyo was totally involved in this new project and worked with rigorous fervor on the design, the selection of materials, the colours, the embellishments and all the practical details.
