"LIKE THE SONGS I SING, I WANT PEOPLE TO THINK I'M ACCESSIBLE AND REACHABLE." —céline dion PHOTOGRAPHY BY DENISE TRUSCELLO few in vegan leather—by luggage giant Bugatti Group. In September, her whole line of 200 handbags, wallets, and accessories will go on sale (although she's staying mum for now on exactly where they'll be sold). But you can already buy four pieces—including Octave—on celinedion.com. Her favorite is also our favorite. "I love them all, but I love this one so much—can I say that?" she asks, pulling out the Vibrato tote, a horizontal quilted sheepskin, multipocket bag with a light-gold closure. "It opens far, and we all have the problem: If I buy a small purse, it's full. [So] I'm going to buy myself a bigger purse—it's still full." She's all about practical touches: Vibrato, and other handbags in the collection, have metal feet on the bottom to protect the bags from dirty floors. She's bringing back the fanny pack. Dion, a mother of twins, thinks a lot about moms—working moms, stay-at-home moms, and naturally, moms (like herself) who ride roller coasters. "Now suddenly they pull the thing down, and you need to get something out and you can't," Dion laments of the roller coaster. "You can wear [the fanny pack] and you can move it around." We're willing to wear an enormous, expandable black fanny pack on a roller coaster if it says céline dion on the front. Don't expect her to stop at handbags. "My dream file is now many drawers," she says, full of inspiration tears and sketches of "jewelry, fantastic cakes, party ideas, ties for men, boots and shoes, makeup." She's hoping to extend her lifestyle brand into all sorts of affordable items. "Like the songs I sing—I want people to think I'm accessible and reachable." We would like to wear Céline jewelry while eating Céline cake. . 48 VEGASMAGAZINE.COM STYLE TASTEMAKER
