One of Dior's most notable initiatives is back for its tenth instalment. The Lady Dior Art project centres on collaborations with international artists, each presenting their own interpretation of the iconic Lady Dior handbag.
Since 2016, the project has given artists creative freedom to reimagine one of the brand’s most symbolic designs. Alongside the classic Dior Saddle Bag, the Lady Dior has long been regarded as a piece that effortlessly embodies the quintessential Dior aesthetic. For its tenth anniversary, the maison has partnered with 10 international artists from Brazil, France, China, and Korea to unveil a series of adaptations that seamlessly marry heritage with expert craftsmanship.
Marc Quinn, Jessica Canon, Patrick Eugene, Eva Jospin, Lakwena, and Sophia Loeb are among the artists enlisted to celebrate the house-defining piece on its 30th anniversary and to participate in Jonathan Anderson’s first Lady Dior Art Project.
Using the Lady Dior bag as a storytelling platform, the project continues to attract an avid following, with fans eagerly awaiting the full collection to celebrate the talented artists selected for this season's Lady Dior Art Project.
One of this instalment's most distinguished names is Marc Quinn, recognised as one of the leading artists of his generation. Pushing both material and conceptual realms, Quinn has returned after participating in the first-ever Lady Dior Art Project 10 years ago.
This time, he has reimagined five new bags, each as special as the next. For a standout iteration, Quinn reimagined the Lady Dior entirely in gold, featuring Monsieur Dior's fingerprint, replicas of a sculpture previously created and displayed at the entrance of La Galerie Dior. Notably, two other bags were made with AI-generated irises, seamlessly celebrating the connection between technology and craftsmanship.
A highly unique collaboration uniting Dior, the artist, and the wearer, bringing together identity, creativity, and craftsmanship.
The Lady Dior Art project's tenth edition will launch globally in selected stores from November 2025.
