FOR THE SEVENTH EDITION OF THE DIOR LADY ART PROJECT, DIOR GAVE CARTE BLANCHE TO ELEVEN NEW, GLOBALLY ACCLAIMED ARTISTS TO TRANSFORM THEIR TIMELESS ICON, THE LADY DIOR HANDBAG. HAUTE LIVING GIVES AN EXCLUSIVE LOOK AT SELECT ARTISTS’ UNPARALLELED CRAFTSMANSHIP AND INNOVATIVE INTERPRETATIONS, CAPTURING THE ALLURING ESSENCE OF LADY DIOR.

BRIAN CALVIN

“I like that the fundamental iconic shape [of the Lady Dior bag] remains, allowing experimentation within fixed parameters. I know it’s a cliché, but as a painter, I can’t help but liken it to a blank, stretched canvas awaiting inspiration.”

GHADA AMER

“I like the charms that hang from the Lady Dior bags, and I wanted to create a parallel Ghada charm. I also like that this bag is both a commodity and a piece of jewelry.”

SARA CWYNAR

“It’s a symbolic object that is at once a bag and an image that represents and embodies the Dior spirit; it acts as a ‘popular image,’ a symbol of value, taste, and dreams, in the same way many images do.”

SHARA HUGHES

“This Lady Dior feels like it can live in many different generations and can be paired with any style. I like the fact that it can formally be stretched to several interesting artistic levels that are realized with this collaboration with Dior and artists.”
