Each artist was given carte blanche to reimagine the Lady Dior, a design originally distinguished by its refined construction and signature Cannage motif. Known for its sculptural silhouette and status as a Dior style icon, the Lady Dior serves as both a luxury accessory and a symbol of the house’s heritage.

In this milestone edition, the featured reinterpretations represent a dialogue between heritage and innovation, materials and ideas. According to Dior, the project pays tribute to both passion and the intersection of art and couture. By incorporating virtuoso techniques and unique cultural references, the anniversary bags are intended to push the boundaries of fashion and art collaboration.
