Down to a Fine Art

The Lady Dior is a timeless icon that embraces the art of reinvention. A perfect balance of modernity and elegance, it's no wonder this epitome of Dior style was a favourite of the late Princess Diana. Since launching the Dior Lady Art initiative in 2016 under creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri, Dior has invited numerous international artists to transform the Lady Dior into wondrous objects of desire, reinforcing a legacy dedicated to artistry, savoir faire and an embrace of the unexpected. In 2023, the esteemed line-up of talent included Mircea Cantor, Jeffrey Gibson, Gilbert & George, Ha Chong-Hyun, Lee Kun-Yong, Mariko Mori, Ludovic Nkoth, Hilary Pecis, Mickalene Thomas, Zadie Xa, Michaela Yearwood-Dan and Xu Zhen. Indulge in a round-up of some of our favourites:
