Celine Dion and her new Jewelry line
Canadian pop diva Celine Dion and famous talk show hostess Yang Lan rolled out their new line of jewelry on Sunday in Beijing, according to a report from the China Daily.
The plans to join forces to create a jewelry line were hatched when Lan interviewed Dion backstage at Dion’s Las Vegas show at Caesars Palace in May 2007.
Dion was present via video link at the press event on Sunday, which was attended by many Chinese celebrities including actress Zhang Ziyi (“Memoirs of a Geisha,” 2005; “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” 2000) who wore a black tube dress to the launch and was seen looking at a few jewelry items for herself. Hong Kong actress Carina Lau (famous in her roles in many regionally-produced films) also attended the event, according to a report from the China Daily.
International pop star Celine Dion has teamed with Chinese businesswoman Yang Lan to produce a new line of jewelry.
As reported by China Daily, Lan conceived the idea of collaborating with Dion after interviewing the singer backstage in May 2007 at Dion’s Las Vegas show at Caesars Palace.
Lan is well known in China as a talk show hostess and co-owner of Sun Television Cybernetworks. She has been called “China’s Oprah Winfrey” and is one of the nation’s wealthiest business people.
The Lan fine-jewelry line made its debut on June 28, with Chinese actresses Zhang Ziyi and Carina Lau in attendance. Dion sent her wishes through a video link.
