Since its launch in 2016, the Dior Lady Art project has established itself as a major initiative, bringing together artists from around the world to reimagine the iconic Lady Dior bag. This program highlights the fusion of contemporary art and Dior’s exceptional craftsmanship. Each artist explores diverse themes, ranging from cultural heritage to environmental issues, while showcasing remarkable technical expertise.
Vaughn Spann, known for his bold style that merges abstraction and figuration, reimagines the Lady Dior with a dynamic blend of design and artistic expression. The bag crafted in pink plexiglass, takes inspiration from 1980s briefcases and features an oversized « X, » a recurring signature in Spann’s work. Another model incorporates geometric patterns from his painting Dalmatian, while two others bring his artworks Firestorm and Untitled (stormy) to life with vibrant textures and striking contrasts. Each piece transforms the iconic Lady Dior into a modern and innovative masterpiece.
