  • [Lady Art] Joël Andrianomearisoa on Materializing Emotion Through Art and Getting Lost in the Lady Dior Labyrinth

    “This bag is an emotion, Dior is an emotion for me,” says Joël Andrianomearisoa, the latest guest on the Dior Talks series themed around the 5th edition of Dior Lady Art and hosted by Paris-based journalist Katya Foreman.

    Delving into the concepts and processes behind his layered, tactile creations for the project, the Malagasy artist discusses the challenges of condensing his universe in the Lady Dior bag.

    Entitled the Lady Dior Labyrinth, Joël’s reinterpretation of the iconic handbag is a direct continuation of his black paper series, notably an immersive work created for the first Madagascar Pavilion at the 2019 Venice Biennale, entitled “I Have Forgotten the Night.” That sensorial piece, based on memories of Madagascar, invited the audience to walk through a labyrinth made of black tissue paper curtains. He describes his work as “a research exercise to materialize emotions.”

    Covered in a mille-feuille leaves of leather and black radzimir silk, in two different versions for night and day, this handwork-intensive bag is a testament to the savoir-faire of the petites mains in the Dior Atelier and the elaborate rituals that go into making one of the House’s most recognizable icons. “Mille-feuille for me is like Dior, it’s part of French culture,” says the artist, who also redesigned the Dior logo, using his own font. His fascination with duality, meanwhile, plays out in the immaculate white lining embroidered with the cryptic message: “Take me to the end of all loves.”

  • [Lady Art] Judy Chicago Talks Metamorphosing the ‘Lady Dior’, Fashion as a Vehicle for Empowerment, and What She Keeps in Her Handbag

    Welcome to the first episode of the new Dior Talks series, themed around the 5th edition of Dior Lady Art and hosted by Paris-based journalist Katya Foreman. Ten artists and collectives from around the world have participated in a game of metamorphosis by rendering the iconic Lady Dior handbag as a unique piece of art.

    Our first guest is friend of the House, Judy Chicago, a founder of the American feminist art movement who already collaborated with Dior on the installation “The Female Divine” for the House’s Spring-Summer 2020 haute couture show.

    The multifaceted, Chicago-born artist has continued to develop a singular, female-centered aesthetic that challenges male domination and celebrates the achievements of women, who are all too often overlooked or relegated to the sidelines. In contrast with the clean, angular lines favored by her contemporaries, she prefers generous, sensual, colorful and suggestive curves, with spirals and shells evoking symbols of female power.

    In this fascinating episode, Judy explains how the Dior Lady Art project has opened an exciting new chapter in the mission she has pursued since the Seventies, introducing feminine symbols and forms into a world where emblems of virility were omnipresent, as a means of bringing women’s history to the fore.

  • [Lady Art] The New Dior Lady Art Dior Talks Podcast Series and the Legacy of the Lady Dior

    Welcome to the new series Dior Talks, themed around the 5th edition of Dior Lady Art.

    In this introductory episode, we’re going back in time to share how the Lady Dior saga began, with a brief history of the icon. Before meeting this year’s artists, we invite you to (re)discover the legacy of the Lady Dior, the quintessence of the Dior spirit.

    All icons have an extraordinary backstory, and the Lady Dior is no exception. A timeless icon and a celebration of multifaceted femininity, the Lady Dior is a constant in the Dior collections, and is endlessly reinvented anew.

    Now in its fifth edition, the Dior Lady Art project has seen the bag deconstructed, reinvented and immortalized through a series of limited, collector’s editions reinterpreted, as ever, by a diverse roster of international talents. In 2020, ten contemporary artists and collectives were invited to put their creative stamp on the Lady Dior, approaching the iconic bag like a unique work of art. 

    Joining Judy Chicago - the godmother of feminist art, who already collaborated with Dior on the installation “The Female Divine” for the set for the House’s Spring-Summer 2020 Haute Couture show - are Joël Andrianomearisoa, Gisela Colón, Song Dong, Bharti Kher, Mai-Thu Perret, Recycle Group, Chris Soal, Claire Tabouret, and Olga Titus.

    Listen as each of these artists shares their personal experience of transforming the Lady Dior in the latest edition of the Dior Talks podcast series, available on all platforms.
