In this tenth chapter of Dior Lady Art, fate takes the form of a bag. For a decade, the Lady Dior has been more than an icon – it has been a canvas, a vessel for chance, imagination, and transformation. This season, 10 artists from across the globe – Jessica Cannon, Patrick Eugène, Eva Jospin, Ju Ting, Lakwena, Lee Ufan, Sophia Loeb, Inès Longevial, Marc Quinn, and Alymamah Rashed – reshape its destiny once more. Each brings a unique touch, turning cannage into constellations, leather into landscapes, and stitching into stories. Together, they become a gallery of the fortunes so superstitiously held by Monsieur Dior. Rendered in bold colours, impossible textures, and unexpected forms, they collide in a symphony of possibility. As Lady Luck herself reminds us, life is always unpredictable, but beauty thrives in that very uncertainty. Here, the Lady Dior becomes not just an accessory, but a talisman where fate is fashioned by hand.
