The French luxury brand revealed its ninth Lady Art Project and presented artist-designed bags that bring fresh, global perspectives to the iconic Lady Dior silhouette.

<a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/tags/dior">Dior</a> just debuted the ninth installment of its Lady Art Project, and the bags are as magically made as ever.
Each year, artists come together with the French luxury house to put their own creative spin on its classic <a href="https://go.skimresources.com?id=230660X1713045&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dior.com%2Fen_us%2Ffashion%2Fwomens-fashion%2Fbags%2Flady-dior">Lady Dior handbag</a>, which was <a href="https://www.dior.com/en_us/fashion/bags/iconic-lady-dior#:~:text=In%20September%201995%2C%20Lady%20Diana,to%20be%20called%20Lady%20Dior.">created in 1995</a> and named after Princess Diana. For the latest reveal, 11 creatives from around the world (including China, Peru, Korea, the United States, and more) put their touch on the classic purse. Each one represents the identity and artistic creativity of the artist behind its design.
Alabama-born artist Danielle McKinney, for example, made her Lady bag about the private sphere of female characters, per Dior's press release. She embodied this through painted textures and crumpled backdrops to evoke movement and dimension. Hand-embroidery brings alive motifs like a butterfly. These cultural and personal elements are incorporated into the designs across artists, giving each handbag a special significance.&nbsp;
