Ju Ting’s Amber Visions: Sculpting the Lady Dior for Dior Lady Art #10
Welcome to the Dior Talks podcast series dedicated to the 10th edition of Dior Lady Art, hosted by Paris-based journalist Katya Foreman. For this milestone edition, 10 international artists were invited to reinterpret the iconic Lady Dior handbag, transforming it into a one-of-a-kind artwork. In this episode, we meet Beijing-based abstract artist Ju Ting, originally from Shandong Province. Celebrated for her fusion of painting and sculpture, Ju transforms thick layers of acrylic paint into sculptural surfaces — folded, carved, and fractured to reveal dazzling plays of texture, color, and depth. Drawing on the language of printmaking, the artist blurs the boundaries between mediums, with ruptures and cracks that symbolically echo the cuts and wounds of life itself. For her Dior Lady Art collaboration, Ju drew inspiration from her Amber Series, a body of work meditating on uncertainty, fragility, and the eternity hidden within fleeting moments. She translated this vision into two reinventions of the Lady Dior: a medium-sized version in calfskin, sculpted with folds, layered textures, and a gleaming metal handle, its undulating panels evoking kinetic art and creating optical illusions that shift with each movement; and a miniature version, alive with high-frequency stripes and embroidered glass tubes that echo the vibrant, rhythmic surfaces of her paintings. Illuminated by bright tones, mirror-effect linings, and balloon-like charms, both designs imbue the Lady Dior with motion and playful contrast, bridging fragility and strength, tradition and innovation, art and fashion.

Faces, Feathers, and Constellations: The Dior Lady Art Universe of Inès Longevial
Welcome to the Dior Talks podcast series dedicated to the 10th edition of Dior Lady Art, hosted by Paris-based journalist Katya Foreman. For this milestone edition, 10 artists from across the globe were invited to reinterpret the iconic Lady Dior handbag, transforming it into a one-of-a-kind artwork.In this episode, we speak with Paris-based painter Inès Longevial, whose poetic universe explores the layered nature of femininity, intimacy, and intuition through soft forms, symbolic detail, and a nuanced use of color. Known for working from her own face while resisting the conventions of self-portraiture, Longevial’s figures become emotional vessels—suggestive rather than prescriptive, inviting open interpretation.For her Dior Lady Art collaboration, the artist reimagined the Lady Dior as a tactile companion—alive, expressive, and full of secrets. Drawing from childhood memories of her grandmother’s quilting, she embraced patchwork as a method of storytelling, assembling drawings, fabrics, and gestures into vivid compositions. Rather than simply transferring an existing work onto a bag, she sought to collaborate with Dior’s artisans to transform the Lady Dior into something lively, bold, and a touch audacious.One of her creations bursts with satin, feathers, and a sense of joyful excess. Centered on the motif of the face—a recurring theme in her practice—this patchwork piece, infused with the exuberant spirit of Niki de Saint Phalle, becomes a miniature stage where symbolic portraits unfold in layers of emotion and meaning. Motifs such as serpents, suns, and flowers suggest hidden narratives and personal secrets, inviting the viewer to look closer—to read between the threads. The second, a smaller version crafted entirely from shimmering glass beads, is vibrant, playful, and unrestrained, balancing intimate charm with after-dark sophistication. The third, more sculptural in spirit, conjures a “star-faced” figure, its surface embroidered with constellations that follow the intuitive movement of her brush.Inside one bag, a hand-painted constellation awaits discovery—a hidden universe that, like much of Longevial’s work, invites wonder, tenderness, and a sense of play.Download the episode to hear the artist reflect on her universe and her Dior Lady Art journey.Hosted on Ausha.

A Balcony in Bloom: Eva Jospin Transforms the Iconic Lady Dior
Welcome to Dior Talks, the podcast series celebrating the 10th edition of Dior Lady Art, hosted by Paris-based journalist Katya Foreman. For this landmark edition, 10 international artists were invited to reinterpret the Lady Dior handbag, each transforming it into a singular artwork. In this episode, we reconnect with French visual artist Eva Jospin, a longtime Dior collaborator known for her monumental installations and sculptural landscapes that blur the lines between architecture, scenography, and sculpture. A graduate of the Beaux-Arts de Paris, Jospin creates immersive environments inspired by baroque gardens, architectural follies, and the dialogue between nature and built form. Her work invites viewers into spaces of reverie, where delicacy and grandeur coexist. For her Dior Lady Art creation, Jospin imagined the handbag as a “portable balcony,” adorned with a golden balustrade echoing the architecture of Dior’s historic birthplace at 30 Avenue Montaigne. Embroidered by the artisans of the Chanakya School of Craft in India, the piece is enlivened with lush floral motifs evoking the first blooms of spring. One side features the intricate balcony rendered in 3D, while the reverse offers refined flat embroideries, highlighting contrasts of fragility and resilience. Like her large-scale works, this miniature landscape plays with scale and perspective, transforming an accessory into a poetic object of escape and reflection. This collaboration continues Jospin’s creative dialogue with the House of Dior, which began with her scenography for the Autumn-Winter 2021-2022 Haute Couture show. Her Lady Dior becomes not only an accessory, but a dreamlike interlude carried into daily life.

Sensorial Landscapes: Sophia Loeb for Dior Lady Art #10
Welcome to the Dior Talks podcast series dedicated to the 10th edition of Dior Lady Art, hosted by Paris-based journalist Katya Foreman. For this milestone edition, 10 artists from across the globe were invited to reinterpret the iconic Lady Dior handbag, transforming it into a one-of-a-kind creation. In this episode, we meet Sophia Loeb, a Brazilian-born, London-based artist whose practice unfolds as a meditative fusion of internal form, elemental landscapes and tactile sensation. Shaped by her early experiences of Brazil’s lush abundance, Loeb embraces a philosophy of oneness, where life and land exist in harmony. Her vivid, tactile paintings grow from a sculptural sensibility—flipped, rotated, layered, and worked with hands as much as brushes—each gesture guided by material, rhythm, and intuition. For Dior Lady Art, Loeb reimagined the Lady Dior as a living extension of her canvases. Across four designs, she sought to capture the materiality and sensorial pull of her paintings—inviting touch, curiosity, and wonder. One bag gleams in metallic red, its glossy surface evoking liquid light; another in gold leather is carved with subtle bumps and adorned with delicate, geology-inspired jewelry motifs. A knitted jacquard model embroidered with Lurex threads and beads showcases layered craftsmanship, while a medium-sized design in printed technical fabric, embroidered with threads and beads, carries imagery drawn from one of her recent paintings—a cascade of lilies, fiery orbs, or flowers raining into a landscape, enveloping the bag like a shifting tableau. A meeting of worlds, Loeb’s collaboration with Dior reflects her pursuit of universal harmony—where nature, body, and object converge. Pulsating with vitality, her Lady Dior interpretations become sensorial vessels that carry the joy, strength, and beauty of her artistic universe.

The Stories We Carry: Alymamah Rashed for Dior Lady Art #10
Welcome to the Dior Talks podcast series dedicated to the 10th edition of Dior Lady Art, hosted by Paris-based journalist Katya Foreman. For this milestone edition, 10 artists from across the globe were invited to reinterpret the iconic Lady Dior handbag, transforming it into a one-of-a-kind artwork.This episode invites us into the universe of Alymamah Rashed, a Kuwaiti visual artist and storyteller whose work is as intimate as it is expansive. Known for her poetic, multidimensional practice, Rashed explores the intersections of spirit, memory, and the quiet rituals of daily life. Her visual language is one of duality—femininity and masculinity, softness and density, ephemerality and permanence—all expressed through painting, sculpture, printmaking, and spontaneous writing.For her Dior Lady Art collaboration, Rashed approached the Lady Dior as a vessel of layered meaning. One bag draws on the sensual textures of Failaka Island’s seashore, where a single seashell, a patch of sand, or a barnacle becomes a sacred relic. The second is an homage to the native Humaith flower of Kuwait, its fleeting springtime presence captured through an explosion of 3D blooms, embroidered petals, and beadwork.In each piece, the figure is subtly embedded within the landscape, emerging through surface and texture. Inside, hidden poems and symbolic charms serve as secret offerings that deepen the emotional resonance of each work.Download the episode to explore Rashed’s world—where art becomes a vessel to “bodify” the spirits we birth across lifetimes.Hosted on Ausha.

Hold Me: Lakwena for Dior Lady Art #10
Welcome to the Dior Talks podcast series dedicated to the 10th edition of Dior Lady Art, hosted by Paris-based journalist Katya Foreman. For this milestone edition, 10 artists from across the globe were invited to reinterpret the iconic Lady Dior handbag, transforming it into a one-of-a-kind artwork.In this episode, we speak with London-based artist Lakwena, whose vibrant practice draws on the power of words, color, and everyday symbolism to create visual declarations of hope, strength, and spiritual resonance. Blurring the lines between street signage, sacred space, and pop culture, her work inhabits both public murals and intimate objects—offering what she describes as “a present hope and a future glory.”For Dior Lady Art, Lakwena approached the Lady Dior as a vessel of meaning—honoring the bag’s symbolic function as something we hold, carry, and treasure. Inspired by her experience of new motherhood, she infused her designs with phrases like “Love Me,” “Hold Me,” and “Carry Me”—a poetic reflection on tenderness, prayers and meditations, and feminine power.Drawing from her recent body of sculptural paintings—assemblages composed of cut wooden pieces—Lakwena translated her visual language into a richly tactile patchwork of leather and precious metallic finishes. Each element was hand-cut and assembled to echo the collage-like surfaces of her work. The addition of a resin sculpted hand to the bag’s iconic “D, I, O, R” charms deepens the symbolism—evoking ideas of making, holding, and connection.Embracing the legacy of Dior’s cannage quilting while imbuing the bags with contemporary vibrancy and meditative stillness, Lakwena’s creations bridge the personal and the universal. These intimate yet powerful pieces pulse with her signature voice—joyful, instinctive, and quietly radical.Download the episode to enter Lakwena’s universe and discover her journey with Dior Lady Art #10.Hosted on Ausha.

Eyes, Fingerprints, and AI Dreams: Marc Quinn’s Living Sculptures for Dior Lady Art #10
Welcome to the Dior Talks podcast series dedicated to the 10th edition of Dior Lady Art, hosted by Paris-based journalist Katya Foreman. For this milestone edition, 10 artists from around the world were invited to reinterpret the iconic Lady Dior handbag, transforming it into a one-of-a-kind artwork. In this episode, we speak with British artist Marc Quinn, whose practice spans sculpture, painting, and public installations that explore identity, the body, and the evolving dialogue between nature and technology. A pivotal figure in contemporary art, Quinn was the very first artist to collaborate on Dior Lady Art in 2016. Almost a decade later, he returns with a bold new series that bridges past and present, human and machine, reality and dream. For this 10th edition, Quinn reimagines the Lady Dior as a living sculpture, enriched with three-dimensional elements that bring sound and movement to life. His five new creations revisit themes at the heart of his work: the iris as a symbol of identity and perception, flowers as emblems of beauty and transience, and fingerprints as unique traces of the self. Among the collection, one bag shimmers with metallic forms of varying sizes, enlarged portraits of Christian Dior’s own fingerprint. These abstract, oval shapes are partly fixed, while others dangle freely and produce a soft clink as the bag moves. Another bag teems with hundreds of enameled eyes generated by an AI system trained on Quinn’s iris paintings —surreal variations he describes as “AI dreaming of what we look like.” One design stands out for its restraint: pure white, decorated only with a sculptural silver orchid on the front and a smaller bloom in the top corner, its pared-back elegance recalling the minimalism of the 1960s. For Quinn, these works are not simply accessories but mobile sculptures—artworks carried into daily life, shaped by chance, encounter, and performance. Bridging the virtual and the physical, the personal and the universal, they embody identities in transformation, becoming relics of the present and messengers of the future. Download the episode to hear Marc Quinn reflect on his creative journey, his return to Dior Lady Art, and the poetic meeting point of art, fashion, and technology.Hosted on Ausha.

Pearl of the Antilles: Patrick Eugène for Dior Lady Art #10
Welcome to the Dior Talks podcast series dedicated to the 10th edition of Dior Lady Art, hosted by Paris-based journalist Katya Foreman. For this milestone edition, 10 artists from across the globe were invited to reinterpret the iconic Lady Dior handbag, transforming it into a one-of-a-kind artwork.In this episode, we exchange with Patrick Eugène, an Atlanta-based Haitian-American artist whose practice is at once intuitive, transcendent, and deeply anchored in cultural lineage. Having come to painting in his late twenties, Eugène describes the medium as a calling—an all-consuming devotion that quickly became both sanctuary and spiritual journey. His imagined portraits of men and women of color radiate quiet resilience and dignity, their open expressions inviting the viewer into dialogue. For his Dior Lady Art collaboration, Eugène turned to his Haitian roots with a project titled Pearl of the Antilles. Known as a tribute to Haiti to describe its natural beauty, in part derived from its bountiful resources, the phrase here is reclaimed as an homage to underscore Haiti’s endurance, culture, and spirit. Working closely with the House’s ateliers, Eugène translated his painterly language into sculptural form, drawing on materials emblematic of both Haiti and Dior: raffia, bamboo, supple leather, and gleaming pearls. The pearls recall both the women who populate his canvases and Dior’s codes of timeless elegance, while earthy greens, deep blues, and burgundies evoke Haiti’s mountainous landscapes. Each bag is adorned with a pearl charm—a discreet yet potent emblem of pride and remembrance. Rooted in ancestry yet attuned to the present, this collaboration becomes a vessel through which Eugène weaves together past and present, memory and history, identity and craftsmanship. The result is a body of work that resonates far beyond fashion—spiritual in essence, graceful in form, and enduring in legacy.
