And this package is always the first choice for the brand to convey the annual design concept. Now start the artistic creation of the seventh series ——Dior Lady Art is a cross-domain cooperation model in which Dior takes Lady Dior as the prototype and invites artists from various fields to work together to create a new look and give it a new soul with its artistic eyes.

Let us deeply understand these ingenious and poetic surprises together.
Wang Yuyang
Chinese artist Wang Yuyang describes his work like this: "The creation of a new cognitive world. There is no fixed style, form, material or concept. Every work is destined to surpass my own creative mode." "The Moon (The Moon) Inspired by the moon, the series of works carefully depicts the wrinkles of the moon and shapes its warm light and shadow to show its magnificent and psychedelic charm. And all this was born out of the unknown. The glasses he wears can convert everything he sees into black and white, while the paintbrush he uses chooses colorful colors, so the final works are unpredictable even for the creator himself. This is a metaphor that the world we live in may not only be what we see and understand. The five handbags that I have collaborated with Dior are based on "Moon". By playing with materials and textures, between traditional crafts such as embroidery and innovative technologies that are close to the two ends of the spectrum, art is used as a medium to create charming and collectible pieces. works of value.
"I use different methods to transfer the images in my works to the surface of the handbag. It is necessary to combine the classics with the thought and creativity of the avant-garde art of our time, and the two must balance each other. The night is the most familiar It is the moon that gently guides everyone forward. I give this familiar moon a new dimension and make it bring unexpected gorgeous colors.” Wang Yuyang is convinced that this cross-domain cooperation will continue to inspire New, unforgettable experiences. While inspiring him to think about how to apply his personal vocabulary to handbag design, it also expanded his understanding of form and material, and produced a completely different perception.
Sara Cwynar
Canadian artist Sara Cwynar attempts to achieve a fusion of retro and avant-garde with eye-catching collage techniques; through her works, she explores the social issue of accelerating imageization and the mediation of daily life. “I think about how design and popular images permeate our consciousness, and how the way we see ourselves and history is changed by a history filled with images—images that we may not have the opportunity to touch and think about in our daily lives. Using unbounded forms of expression—from photography to collage, from performance to book creation—she focuses on an "idealized image world" suspended above the real world. The two handbags she conceived for the Dior Lady Art #7 project are like witnesses of an era: "When discussing the possibility of bag design with Dior, I immediately wanted to adopt the idea of an encyclopedia or historical archive, so that users can carry Carry a miniature history of images."
She put images collected from the Internet and personal portfolio on the classic Cannage set of Lady Dior. These images spanning the 19th to 21st centuries present the intention of time passing. "Lady Dior is not only a handbag, it is also a symbol, representing and embodying the spirit of Dior. It is also a popular image that I am passionate about researching, and it is a symbol of value, taste and dreams. Dior has a style that I cannot alone The astonishing method of completion gave these images new life—the images were sewn into patches or printed into 3D objects, and then stitched into bags one by one. Through continuous selection of materials, color schemes and styles, these two orders were finally completed. Amazing, layered bag."
Cwynar's artistic universe is full of grandeur and miniatures of history, showing the world as a whole or figuratively. She likes to think about how popular images inadvertently infiltrate people's consciousness and life, and then affect the way individuals look at history. She created for Dior The handbags designed by Lady Art #7 are not only the epitome of her personal aesthetic, but also a way of documenting the times.
