THE CHRISTIAN DIOR ARTIST COLLABORATIONS YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS

Dior’s limited edition Lady Art collections are produced in collaboration with renowned artists from across the world, featuring their unique interpretations of the classic Lady Dior bag. The first edition of the Lady Art project was released in 2017 with five more collections to follow.

We've sourced a small grouping of these highly collectible pieces. Browse the curation today — these new arrivals won’t be around for long. 


HONG HAO: BLACK & MULTICOLOR EMBELLISHED SATIN LADY DIOR MINI

Beijing based artist Hong Hao designed the second edition of the Lady Dior Art bag, layering his foundational motifs of sarcasm and unique perception into his version. Hao uses his pieces to challenge the viewer and inspire thought beyond the norm and conventional. His best-known work includes a book of maps called The Scriptures: originally factual maps are thoughtfully reimagined through a cultural, political and satirical lens.

For his Lady Dior, Hao referenced his My Things series with a collection of mismatched buttons and beads. Through organized chaos, he makes something beautiful out of ordinary and overlooked objects.

MARGUERITE HUMEAU: IVORY 3-D PRINTED THERMOPLASTIC LADY DIOR

Marguerite Humeau designed the third edition of the Lady Art bag, putting her own artistic vision into a classically recognizable silhouette. From Cholet, France & London England. Humeau studied at the Royal College of Art in London. She is influenced by history (especially pre-history), biology, and conspiracy. She is best known for her intellectual interpretations of prehistoric biology and parallel concepts of life in the form of sculpture.

Humeau described her Lady Dior as looking like it is sculpted out of stone while simultaneously appearing to be alive. She achieved this effect through 3D printing. The bag while functional, of course, but would also look perfectly at home in a museum display.

SPENCER SWEENEY: BLACK & MULTICOLOR EMBROIDERED LADY DIOR MEDIUM

For the first edition of Dior’s Lady Art Project, they tapped New York based multimedia artist Spencer Sweeney. From Philadelphia, PA, Sweeney studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts until graduating to New York City where he studied nightlife as a DJ. His pieces are largely experimental, from paintings to immersive experiential environments.

Sweeney’s work is characterized by its raw materiality, as we can see in his take on the Lady Dior. We can also see evidence of Sweeney’s main influences, like jazz, pop culture, art, and history in his Lady Dior bag.
