Dior Lady Art

The celebration of the tenth edition of the Dior Lady Art project, showcasing in more than 250 pieces the reinterpretation of the Lady Dior bag by contemporary artists.

Named after Lady Diana, Princess of Wales, the Lady Dior is one of the few truly iconic accessories—instantly recognizable. First introduced in 1995, it became a symbol of elegance and craftsmanship, embodying the essence of Dior and its sophistication.

This vibrant volume celebrates the Lady Dior with a stunning fusion of fashion, art, and savoir faire where the bag becomes a canvas for creative expression.

From bold, avant-garde pieces to intricate, handcrafted details, these bags highlight the limitless possibilities of artistic collaboration between Dior and names such as Judy Chicago, Jeffrey Gibson, Gilbert & George, Zhang Huan, Jack Pierson, Marc Quinn, Raqib Shaw, Claire Tabouret, Mickalene Thomas, or Joana Vasconcelos. This book is a must-have for fashion lovers and art enthusiasts alike, offering an exciting journey into a world where fashion history meets contemporary creativity.
