Dior is paying tribute to the Lady Dior handbag with a new retrospective book commemorating the tenth anniversary of the Dior Lady Art project.
Originally introduced in 1995 and named in honor of Lady Diana, Princess of Wales, the Lady Dior has come to embody the timeless elegance of the Dior universe.
Launched in 2016, the Dior Lady Art project invites artists from around the world to reinterpret the Lady Dior. To date, 99 artists have reimagined the bag in their own vision, from conceptual reinterpretations to material experiments that blur the line between fashion and fine art.
Among the international roster of creators are Judy Chicago, Jeffrey Gibson, Gilbert & George, Zhang Huan, Eva Jospin, Marc Quinn, Faith Ringgold, Raqib Shaw, Mickalene Thomas, and Joana Vasconcelos, among others.
The new volume, published by Rizzoli, features texts by Hervé Mikaeloff, Jérôme Hanover, and Anne Malherbe, with photography by Adrien Dirand. Presented in a 25.5 x 29.5 cm format and spanning 452 pages, the book captures over 270 original creations, specially staged and photographed to highlight the extraordinary craftsmanship of Dior’s ateliers and the diverse artistic languages of its collaborators.
The publication will be released on October 29, 2025, in France, and February 17, 2026, worldwide, retailing for $95.
