“I see fashion as a playground as well as a blank canvas. The quest is how to successfully combine, assemble and make certain colors sing together. I think there’s no right answer, just an infinite number of questions. I like its minimalism and its demarcated lines. It let me imagine deconstructing it while retaining certain structural lines that remind us that this is a Lady Dior.” — Antonin Hako

“First, I studied the structure of the bag. Then I did research on Monsieur Dior’s life, his birthplace, and his upbringing, [looking] for thematic similarities with my own artistic creations.” — Daisuke Ohba
