When Fashion meets Photography What would happen when a fashion director collaborate with a photographer? Few years ago, when Ivana Omazic, the creative director of Celine, met Mika Ninagawa, the famous female photographer, in Japan, their friendship has stimulated the collaboration. In March 2007, Ivana invited Mika to join the fashion show of Celine in Paris Fashion Week, Mika has photographed the scenes of backstage and published a book named "Mika for Ivana." And now, Ivana uses Mika`s photographs of flowers as a pattern for her new designs for Celine. The series is called "Ivana for Mika." It is the story of the friendship, between 2 talented women, from 2 different countries. www.celine.com/mika ninamika.com © Mika Ninagawa © CONRAN LIMITED 2006 03.
