An iconic bag named in honour of Princess Diana, and an emblematic symbol of the House of Dior, the Lady Dior never ceases to amaze with its ability to be reinvented and transformed into a unique work of art, through the various artist collaborations that have taken place under the Lady Dior Art project which began in 2016. Now into its fifth edition, the collection will be unveiled from January 8, 2021 and sold exclusively at Dior Pavilion boutique as well as selected Dior boutiques globally. Here are five essential things to know about Lady Dior Art #5, and what each bag represents:

1 POWER OF TEN

An initiative by Dior’s creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri, ten artists and collectives hailing from different parts of the world were invited to create their own interpretation of the Lady Dior, taking the bag to new heights by infusing its architecture and charms with their imagination and inspirations. They include Paris-based Joël Andrianomearisoa from Madagascar; Song Dong from Beijing, China; Recycle Group from Russia; Chris Soal from Johannesburg, South Africa; Judy Chicago from Belen, New Mexico; Gisela Colón from Los Angeles; London-based Bharti Kher from India; Mai-Thu Perret from Geneva, Switzerland; Claire Tabouret from France; and Olga Titus from Winterthur, Switzerland.
