You said this clothing line isn't controversial, sweetie. And I said it is. It's simple as that.

As I said it's only controversial because the tweens on social media are magnifying it. I'm repeating myself here and I don't get what is so difficult for you to understand. I'm using simple language here.

what would it takes to be really controversial?

There’s something about this project that makes me wish she never did it but on the other hand I love it.....

 

Can’t make up my mind.... not liking the negativity towards her though to be honest

I wonder if she reads some of these comments? Probably not, she always said she doesn't. Yes, I don't care for the negativity towards her either. Edited November 26, 2018 at 11:30 PM by DionFanAlways

Didn't get a chance to go through and quote earlier, and realized this might be blocked for some, so here ya go. The author goes all the way back to her Sesame Street appearance - this is clearly someone who has been paying attention!

 

"Parents, let your babies grow up to dress like Celine Dion

by Nathalie Atkinson

 

In Celine Dion’s latest video, the Canadian performer stealthily breaks into a maternity ward. After she changes the signage, newborn blankets and clothing, she’s tackled by police. The short film isn’t promoting a new single, but rather, the launch of Célinununu, a gender-neutral clothing and lifestyle line for “little humans” (in 70 styles from newborn to 14 years old) created by Dion in collaboration with Israeli brand Nununu.

 

Style icon? Celine Dion? Oui. Although her reputation may conjure up the tinsel excesses and garish splendour of Las Vegas, the truth is that the singer has always been a pied piper of fashion. Her new line of clothing merely signals that she’s ready to push further into the fashion conversation.

 

In North America, everything from kids clothing to toys is still largely gendered – marketed to either boys or girls, not both. In response to this, Dion partnered with the brand to encourage dialogue about equality and possibility, and to challenge the binary in North America. The new collaboration purports to be as neutral as Switzerland, down to the signature white Swiss cross. In the promo video, symbols in the newborn ward denoting boys or girls are transformed, once Celine has cast her spell, into plus signs representing equality. Mostly, though, Célinununu seems to be about neutralizing colour. The clothes are primarily white, black and grey and printed with letters, stars and skulls.

 

The Célinununu brand site is peppered with quotes from Margaret Mead (“Children must be taught how to think, not what to think”) and contemporary artist Jenny Holzer. It encourages parents not to define children through their clothing.

 

The marketing of gender-neutral kids' clothes isn’t groundbreaking – Abercrombie & Fitch Kids and Target have both tackled the category – but the high-profile launch and ensuing discussion comes at a time when gender identity is a hot-button topic. In Ontario and British Columbia, controversy has erupted around how gender is taught in schools' sex-ed classes, while, in the United States, transgender protections and rights are under attack.

 

The company’s statement declares, “The brand breaks stereotypes and inspires children to be free and find their own individuality through clothes.” Fashion’s expressive power is something the diva knows well.

 

In the couple of years that Dion, 50, has been working with talented stylist Law Roach, press from Vogue and Vanity Fair to Dazed and Harper’s Bazaar have been penning paeans to Dion as a new style icon. Last summer, The Times of London hailed her an “unlikely queen” of haute couture, as she turned her short jaunts in Paris during fashion week, from hotel room to waiting car, into turns on the catwalk.

 

But as Dion herself might say – adding a few finger-snap flourishes for emphasis – honey, she always was. Those who think the chanteuse has only just started to be an audacious, imaginative and energetic presence on the fashion stage simply haven’t been paying attention. Dion’s wardrobe hasn’t changed. What is different is that she openly embraces her role as a trend-setter with increased visibility. Some have called it overperformative, but, people: Performing is what she does.

 

Her road to fashion fame admittedly had a bumpy start in the 1980s with blue eyeshadow, acid-washed jeans and headbands (Stars! They’re just like us!), but by the 1990s she was donning Marlene Dietrich pantsuits and fashion-forward gowns. A provocative strappy cutout Versace dress in 1993 was a year before Elizabeth Hurley’s notorious safety pin version. Working with former long-time stylist Annie Horth, Dion wore Givenchy by Alexander McQueen, pieces by avant-garde Belgian Ann Demeulemeester and she collaborated extensively with Balmain before the Kardashians did.

 

Appearing as herself two decades ago on The Nanny, Dion begs off after a concert to go indulge her passion for shopping. Even in her 1998 Sesame Street appearance performing Happy to Meet Youwith Elmo and Big Bird, the blush pink riding jacket she pairs with blue jeans has the Savile Row tailoring flourish of a flapped ticket pocket.

 

Her custom Schiaparelli stage outfits on the recent Celine Dion Live 2018 tour included gold brocade suits, silk chiffon in the house’s signature shocking pink and a spiky fringed minidress like a warrior suit of armour. Offstage, that chest-thumping intensity translates to pink sequinned tracksuits and thigh-high reptile boots and she theatrically gives her all in Simone Rocha, Valentin Yudashkin, Antonio Berardi, Dice Kayek, Stéphane Rolland. There are no sweatpanted Starbucks runs for our Celine. A tongue-in-cheek Vêtements sweatshirt emblazoned with Titanic’s Kate and Leo is as low as she goes.

 

Anyone who’s listened to her albums or seen her in concert can attest that Dion always delivers a little more than we’re expecting, more than we can handle. That goes for fashion, it’s all with a fun-loving and sharply honed taste that goes for the jugular – even if her audience isn’t always ready for it. The backwards white Dior tuxedo and diamond-encrusted Ray-Ban sunglasses she wore to the Academy Awards in 1999, for example, went down in infamy. We weren’t ready for it, but it was visionary. In recent years, when asked about that Oscar look, she’s doubled down, paraphrasing Édith Piaf: “Je ne regrette rien.”

 

This latest fashion foray – designing for children – isn’t ahead of the curve, but it’s loud and comes just at the right time in the cultural conversation."

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but the likes have swung back into Celine's favor! There's been like 4,000 likes just within the past 24 hours or so!

[Brandon]

The only project she should be doing is her Album project. She said she would stay out of politics but she really stepped in it didn't she. And when I say it, I think you know what I mean.

People have been reblogging that post on tumblr (it has over 91,000 notes now) and asking their followers to like the video and show support for her.

I hope the wave of positivity carries on for a while.

[rachel9767]

Frankly, I don't see any problem of the adv... People r just too sensitive, like to say what everyone says. I believe that Celine knows what she's doin no matter what, being in the industry for 38 years is sth u know, she won't hurt her career with a subsidiary business c'mon... Still, glad to see Celine is being discussed everywhere and her mega fanbase tho XD

20 hours filming that commercial!?!?!

 

She could record two albums if she spend that much time in the studio!! :w00t:

Exactly, she needs to get back what made her famous in the first place. Her voice and her music. If she spent just one quarter of the time she spends on all this other irrelevant stuff on her music I would be happy. She has zero artistic involvement in her music. She could have done so much more while she spent 15 years in Vegas but she pretty much squandered her time simply repeating the same old set list for 15 years basically.

She did what she WANTED and WANTS to do. For all we know she didn't want to record new (English) music....well that's her prerogative. Author's have writers block, next to the 100 things that she went through, she may had something similar. Everything is and happens for a reason. It's of no use to keep asking "what could have been". When will people accept this.

[Javito]

Javito, is that you?

 

No lol, but after 15 years stuck in Vegas doing the same thing, one starts to weigh up what's been done there, and it's just normal there are many fans that come to the same conclusion as me

 

The first show was good and it was enough of it by 2007. The second show was just forgettable. Not to mention what have been the last 3 years and the evident signs of stagnation and lack of noveltys in the setlist for the last 3 years, where she basically only changed costumes.

 

Exasperating.

[CelinesDIVO5]

Uuugh...I can’t even make a lighthearted joke lol

I love how for every one of these "exorcist says Celine is possessed by the devil" articles, there's another saying "dude, LOL, your exorcist is a nutjob, if this is satan, sign me up!"

😂😁😂

Well a lot of people have watched 'The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina' and love it. This is kinda the same..

I've heard (from a little birdie) that Rene is giving her orders to do this from her Ouija board.

I've also heard he told her to release an updated version of "Winter Song"..... NUNUNUNU...NUNUNUNU...NUNUNU.....

[Tyler1991]

Sorry guys. Im not a fan of this at all. Ive been trying to type this message for over a week, somewhat nervous to post my own dismissal. My primary reasoning is what it does to her public image.

 

Let's remember that for years celine has been pretty quiet. She has not made many of her more political leanings known to the public. Decisions like these with sharp backlash never would have been made.

 

Im used to celine negativity being limited to setlists, playbacks, which single is released....pety s*** us fans choose to be negative about..

 

This however is like post tommy mariah now off on her own doing off the wall stuff. Some fans even feel betrayed. Sorry but is this what's next with celine post-rene? I've never wanted celine to be like cher or madonna or barbra streisand and unfortunately all the comments are making this clothing line into a polticial stance...whether it is or not is irrelevant because the fact remains indisputable that to her target demographic this is not in line with what you would expect to be next....so many negative comments.

 

I hate to be negative...i want to be supportive of celine's ventures and her career, but not if it hurts her image amongst her core group.

 

But ill go back to being a gay guy that thankfully doesn't have to worry about dressing kids up in this. The clothes are hideous. Even the child in the ad looks terribly unhappy as if forced to wear such out of style nonsense. What 8 year old wants a logo saying new order on it? Kinda creepy.

[mirage]

This will do absolutely nothing to her public image.

 

The ones who complain about Satan or Illuminati aren't her biggest supporters anyway.

 

And the ones that she is losing because of this aren't that many, and not a big deal, those people you don't want to have in your fanbase

Exactly. And the ones who are complaining are probably also the same people who flooded social media when Céline allegedly refused to perform at Trump's inauguration and when she allegedly said she hated living in America (all Fake News, pun intended). "She" [her career] got over that and it will easily get over this.

Don’t forget when she burned the US flag as well! 🤣😂
