Dior is celebrating the 10th edition of the Lady Dior Art Project. As in previous editions, also in this one, different international artists create their own interpretations of the iconic, timeless Lady Dior handbag.
For this edition, Dior gathered 10 artists (Jessica Cannon, Patrick Eugène, Eva Jospin, Ju Ting, Lakwena, Lee Ufan, Sophia Loeb, Inès Longevial, Marc Quinn, Alymamah Rashed) to take on the timeless accessory. Another reason that makes this edition so special is that they’re also launching a special season of the Dior Talks podcast dedicated to Dior Lady Art #10 which is a great addition for those who love to hear more about the creative process.

In this collection, we see each artist’s unique identity and artistic practice reflected on the Lady Dior bag. A collaboration like this is a two way creativity. The Lady Dior Art Project has encouraged artists to explore new ways within their own practices. “I discovered textures, fabrics, and techniques I never imagined were possible,” said French-Brazilian painter Sophia Loeb, capturing how this project gives artists another space to express their creativity and expand their “canvases.” Creativity has no limits, so just like in previous years, again in this edition artists are face to face with a new field where they can discover, experiment, and create a beautiful outcome.
What is even more interesting about this project is that Dior gives this opportunity to rising and compelling artists from all over the world. And we believe that’s exactly what the fashion world needs; fresh perspectives and new ways of seeing. When artists step into the fashion world, they bring a different visual language that challenges traditional aesthetics and introduces unexpected textures, colours, and brings a unique way of storytelling to the brand. Likewise, fashion offers artists a new surface, and a new form of dialogue with the public.

The bags are available only in limited editions at Dior boutiques worldwide. The monograph, meanwhile, was released in Paris on October 29 and throughout the rest of the world on February 17, 2026. The first episode of the podcast is already out. Creative Director Jonathan Anderson already has a wishlist of artists he hopes to work with next year. A great hint is this dialogue between art and fashion, promising even more inspiring artists and unexpected creative collabs for the future.
