CELINE WOMEN WINTER 20
CELINE CÉSAR COMPRESSION PROJECT
A NUMBERED AND LIMITED EDITION OF 100 VERMEIL AND 100 SILVER PIECES, EDITED BY CELINE
IN COLLABORATION WITH THE FONDATION CÉSAR. THE FIRST “DIRECTED COMPRESSIONS” WERE CREATED BY THE SCULPTOR CÉSAR IN 1959.
THE JEWELLERY IS SUPPOSED TO BE HELD AND RENDERED PERSONAL BY ITS EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL WEIGHT
THROUGH THIS TACTILE MANIPULATION, IT BECOMES A TALISMAN OF STRENGTH AND REASSURANCE, REGARDLESS OF GENDER.
THIS SPIRIT IS REFLECTED IN THE ORIGINAL CELINE WOMAN, WHOSE SILHOUETTE AND ATTITUDE STEMMED
FROM PARIS IN THE 1970S. BOTH CELINE AND CÉSAR’S STORIES PAY HOMAGE TO THE MEMORY AND THE FAMILIARITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL.
THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE MAISON CELINE AND THE FONDATION CÉSAR OFFERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECONNECT WITH THIS ARTISTIC JOURNEY
VIA THE FABRICATION OF A LIMITED-EDITION SERIES OF JEWELLERY PIECES IN SILVER AND VERMEIL.
EACH IS INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED AND PRESENTED IN A BOX STAMPED WITH THE SIGNATURE OF THE ARTIST.
