"CELINE" 00’s Ivana Omagik period tailored jacket

Centered around French elegance, blending femininity and practicality into a refined silhouette, CELINE presents a beautifully tailored masterpiece.

This is a tailored piece embodying the mid-2000s "Middle CELINE" vibe.

This item is likely from the transitional period between 2005 and 2008, specifically during the IANA OMARIC era of CELINE. Evidence for this includes the tag at the neckline being a tall rectangle rather than a horizontal shape, and the logo appearing more modern and sans-serif, characteristic of that time. Additionally, the chain detail visible at the collar aligns with the design elements carried over from the Michael Kors period, serving as a subtle "glamorous afterglow" that persisted for several years. These details support a credible estimate of its age.

First, what catches the eye is the elegant check pattern based on a soft beige-gray tone, composed of fine lines. From a distance, it appears almost solid and understated, but up close, the depth and richness of the pattern come alive. This embodies CELINE’s aesthetic of restrained beauty, with the pattern subtly complementing the overall tone without overpowering, helping to harmonize the entire outfit.

Design-wise, it features a classic single-breasted style with two buttons and a beautifully angled notch lapel, creating a balanced and sophisticated silhouette that maintains formality without feeling too stiff. The front has patch pockets on both sides, and an additional chest pocket softens the formal tone derived from suiting, making it more suitable for everyday wear. The patch pockets are sewn on, which prevents the lines from flattening and helps showcase the check pattern in a three-dimensional way, enhancing the overall quality of the jacket.

The fabric appears to be a wool flannel with a slightly brushed texture, as seen in the photos. It offers a soft touch and a drape that seems to contain air, creating a subtle shadow effect. The matte finish, rather than a glossy shine, emphasizes a sense of elegance and aligns with CELINE’s clean, refined style from the mid-2000s. The back features a central vertical line with a slight flare at the hem, giving a relaxed fit that doesn’t cling to the body and creates a graceful silhouette even from behind.

Styling-wise, embracing the "transitional aesthetic" of this jacket by intentionally simplifying elements creates a beautiful look. For example, pairing a high-quality T-shirt with tailored slacks and polished leather shoes highlights the check pattern’s depth. Alternatively, layering over a minimalistic dress or long skirt with this jacket can tone down sweetness with its structured design, and the chain detail can be enjoyed as a jewelry-like accent, adding a touch of elegance.

Don’t miss this opportunity.
