A timeless icon with an extraordinary destiny, the Lady Dior has never ceased reinventing itself. For the Dior Lady Art project, the house of Dior invites several captivating artists each season to play the metamorphosis game, transforming this object of desire into a veritable work of art. These multi-expressive personalities share a common goal: to sublimate the heritage and fundamentals of this fascinating symbol, in the light of their own singular universe.
For this eighth edition, echoing Christian Dior’s lucky number, Mircea Cantor, Jeffrey Gibson, Gilbert & George, Ha Chong-Hyun, Lee Kun-Yong, Mariko Mori, Ludovic Nkoth, Hilary Pecis, Mickalene Thomas, Zadie Xa, Michaela Yearwood-dan and Xu Zhen – from England to China, Japan to the United States – take turns reinterpreting this legendary accessory. The Lady Dior is transposed into a unique creation, fusing exceptional savoir-faire, poetry and innovation.
