Lady Dior is one of Dior's most iconic handbags, recognized for its canework pattern and dangling Dior charm, and was made famous in 1995 when the first edition was given to Princess Diana by the first lady of France, Bernadette Chirac.
To celebrate this handbag Dior has asked an array of renowned photographers, filmmakers, and visual artists around the world to create their interpretation of the Lady Dior. Participating artists include Kourtney Roy, Kohei Nawa, Peter Lindbergh, Olympia Scarry, David Lynch, John Cameron Mitchell, Liu Jianhua.
The catalogue alternates between true reproductions of the Lady Dior bag in photographs and images that show paradoxical or highly symbolic situations.
Liu Jianhua, for example, has produced a stunning Dior handbag china golden.
Then there is the Lady Dior containing the skull of a crocodile or that of ice, which is open on the sides almost to reproduce an explosion.
A must have for fans of Dior - or the artists on display, and anyone interested in the luxury world of art and fashion.
