Celine draws inspirations from streets of Paris<\/p>\n
The Jakarta Post
\nJakarta<\/p>\n
Streets in a city are what veins are for the heart. Like veins
\nthat carry blood to the heart, keeping the body alive, streets
\nmake a city throb with life.<\/p>\n
Famous fashion house Celine capitalized on this fact of life
\nin its Spring and Summer 2003 collection. Drawing inspiration
\nfrom the charming streets of Paris with its sidewalk cafes and
\nmagnificent buildings, the house designed two special lines for
\nthe season: the Poulbot bag and the Paris Macadam collection.<\/p>\n
Named after the street kids of Montmarte, the Poulbot
\ncollection represents a young, fresh, sweet yet very Parisian
\nstyle that is both smart and elegant.<\/p>\n
The name Poulbot itself is derived from painter Francisque
\nPoulbot, who was famous for his illustrations of children playing
\nin the streets of Montmarte. His works were published between
\n1900 and 1930.<\/p>\n
"It is perfect for those who want a young look ... like
\ntoday's artists Britney Spears or Christina Aguillera," Cicilia
\nKing, Celine's public relations executive, said during last
\nweek's launching of the products at its boutique at Plaza
\nSenayan, Central Jakarta.<\/p>\n
The Poulbot shoulder bag is carried tucked under the arm, the
\nway a Parisian carries a newspaper or a child hiding a toy from
\nview.<\/p>\n
Celine creative director Michael Kors designed the bag with
\ncurves and shapes following the human body. Its edges are closed
\nwith rivets and then cobbled and finished like a pair of
\nwatertight shoes.<\/p>\n
"The rivets were inspired by the cobbled stones in the streets
\nof Paris," Cicilia added.<\/p>\n
Suede and calfskin were used as the main materials.<\/p>\n
The colors are rich and fresh like nature in springtime. The
\nsuede bag comes in the bold bright tones of magenta and tangerine
\nas well as more soothing shades of khaki and nutmeg.<\/p>\n
Similarly, Celine's Paris Macadam gives the streetwear a
\nfresh, casual and sporty style. The collection is a tribute to
\nJohn Loudon McAdam, dubbed Macadam, who discovered tarmac, which
\nwas first laid on the streets of Paris in 1854.<\/p>\n
The Paris Macadam collection includes a signature casquette or
\ngamine cap, three handbags, a pair of wooden clacquettes, a vest
\nand a belt made of a blue and ecru cotton jean twill, patterned
\nwith the Celine blazon. The collection perfectly suits young
\nwomen living in the fast track who are always on the go.<\/p>\n
It starts with a Poulbot bag. The Poulbot bag in the Paris
\nMacadam collection is made from denim and is trimmed with brown
\nleather and brass rivets, giving an independent and audacious
\nlook.<\/p>\n
The gamine cap is probably the top feature of the collection.
\nRecalling the spirit of the 1970s, the cap is perfect to wear in
\nhot summer weather.<\/p>\n
A five-pocket vest and two-pocket belt inspired by cafe
\ngarcons, a functional and sexy masculine-feminine duo were
\ndesigned for practical women. The vest and the belt can store a
\nmodern woman's essentials: cellular phone, lipstick and
\nsunglasses.<\/p>\n
The shoulder bag strengthens the street look, with its
\ncrescent shape, and is worn draped across the chest to highlight
\nthe casual look.<\/p>\n
However, the outfit is not complete without the perfect
\nfootwear, like the 1970s clacquettes. Extremely feminine, the
\nclacquettes come with generous wooden soles to walk on the beach
\nor the pavement.<\/p>\n
With this collection, one can walk in style along the streets
\nof Paris, from Montmarte to the River Seine, or any charming
\nstreet that appreciates style.<\/p>",
