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.
