Well I like having goals, things to find.  So I will definitely do some digging.

CHANEL

Céline in Paris in 1997

If it helps, I have a nice HD copy of TTEOTW and I could take a clear picture of the raven t-shirt, as I had no idea what was riding on it's back. We can see it is a boy or maybe a pixie playing a fiddle/violin while riding the raven. The image of the boy seems to be quite common around the internet, I found lots of examples. But nothing riding the bird!

It seems to use or be based on this well known image of the boy playing the fiddle:

Those unique buttons really CAN make it easy! Great finding - congrats again (on this platform too)!

I just saw this on Facebook. A Christian Dior dress that Céline wore to a private dinner party in March 1998, whilst recording of SISDA. Are there any pictures of this dinner?

THIS was a very exceptional finding - although the occasion Céline was wearing those sneakers was a sad one. But those shoes really challenged me for years - until a few weeks ago. It was during a time where I had started to make my "rounds" again through some older items of my "Someday-I'll-Find-It"-file - so the memories of the things in there were fresh in my brain: I was in a streetcar in Vienna, as a young man got in and sat down right across from me. A little time later he put one of his feet on the knee of the other leg and by chance I looked at them - and GOSH! Here they were: Sneakers in who look very much like Céline's and since he was sitting there similar like her in that video/Screencap I was pretty sure that they were the same. So I had to laugh out loud, and when he looked at me a bit confused - I not only told him that I'm a "fashion-hunter-nerd" but also that I was searching the label of those shoes for so many years! He was very kind and told me that he was a student, born in the USA and the shoes were a gift from his father. - That was such a lovely incident!
The very first thing I did when I came home was researching the name of them. The guy couldn't remember the correct wording (the letters on the backside of the shoes were already quite faded) - but even with a little hint and of course knowing the label - it was suddenly not so hard to find them - and happily I could verify them as the same model Céline was wearing. 
This was - for sure - one of the very unusual analogous findings in my collection!
 

Love this story 😄

WOW! Great discovery. 
I don't have pictures from that dinner, only of April 4, 1998 (Meet & Greet with her fan Betty & husband from Pungoteague, Virginia) - Source: https://*censored*.com/2007/10/home-updates_29.html

Later I found a sniplet of the tiny picture, where she's wearing that dress.
That other dress, which is mentioned in the letter, was already found (not by me, I guess Frida) - I only updated the pictures a while ago.
I'll see if I can find the runway pic of the fringe dress.

Here we go ... Gosh, that collection of the then chief designer John Galliano was an absolute gorgeous mess. Like a big party from another century. A lot of fringes, a lot of sexy mesh parts. And Céline bought quite a lot pieces. So that dress is for sure a great addition to that collection. So, thanks again Davey84

 AMAZING that you found it that quickly!!  Happy to see it's now part of the Célline Closter too! It's a gorgeous dress! A shame she didn't wear it in public. It's such a departure from the Chanel suits she wore in 1996. Starting from 1997 on Céline started to dress more sexy and daring.

In the documentary "I am Celine Dion", there was a book on the table that was not easy to find. 
The title is interesting: 

THE KINGS OF SILENCE - WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM INTROVERTS TO BE A BIT STUPID AND (MAYBE) SAVE THE WORLD

 

I think RC is introvert and at least one of her twins.

Thank you!!! 
Well - the fringes certainly returned to her closet - just to remember the epic white Balmain she wore for the American Music Awards 2007, or the masterpiece of art she was wearing on the "Celine Dion Live 2018"-tour: Versace, made of 100.000 tiny pearls, or the gold Versace's for the "Celine"-Show 2017 or the "Bambi"-awards in 2012. Just to name a few of the many.

But I have to disagree with you: Sexy and daring elements were always part of her clothes since the "make-over-year" 1986: Form-fitting dresses, mini skirts ... OK, the fashion in the late 80ies, early 90ies were partly very strange from today's point of view - but by that time it was en vogue. Although I have to confess you clearly see the change in her wardrobe, when René lost his job for being her stylist: Which was from February 1996 on, when Annie Horth became her stylist. But I certainly won't criticize him: I am convinced he always had the very best intentions for her!
 
Chanel is a whole different story! Before I found my interest in Haute Couture and Couture I also totally disliked Céline's Chanel-passion. Only when I started my fashion researches I discovered the beauty, elegance, timelessness and mainly highest level of Couture of this legendary label. And - haha - for sure I as a fashion searcher am truely thankful to her for being a Chanel-aficionada - because nothing is more easier to detect than Chanel. Which doesn't mean it's then easy to find the pieces/collections - but the distinctive elements are simply remarkable!

Yes even a "simple" brooch might be a big task!

What items are needed from this ensemble, everything or only parts? I remember this photoshoot from Rosie Magazine so well, from all the way back to October 2002. Where has the time gone?! I can't believe it. Maybe the trousers are the same ones inside the magazine without the belt, if so it shows us them a bit clearer.

Do you have this magazine? If yes: On page 184 should be the "merchandise credits" for the outfit of the cover page ....  would be so great it you make a picture and post it here ... thanks in advance!

The advantage of insomnia are to google around.  So I've found those pumps this night. Unfortunately I don't have a picture with the full heel (maybe someone up here can help??) but they are definitively by the great and unfortunately already passed away Vivienne Westwood. Quite astonishing that Céline already wore something from her collections in 1993!

Searching those Sergio Rossi shoes is definitively a hole different story!!!!!!!!! Just feels like Céline's shoe collection: "All around the world in ayaiyaiyaiyai, I don't wanna these, I don't know which, I don't know why "
