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 Brooklyn-based painter Jessica Cannon, whose luminous, meditative practice explores celestial forms, interior landscapes, and the subtle mysteries of light and color.For her Dior Lady Art collaboration, Cannon approached the Lady Dior as a dimensional extension of her work—translating the layered surfaces, symbolic imagery, and shifting light of her paintings into a tactile form through embroidery, beading, and sculptural materials.Drawing from the rich universe of Dior—from the House’s layered silhouettes to the fantastical jewelry of Victoire de Castellane—Cannon rooted her three handbag designs in the concept of eternity. A standout piece, The Sky for Catherine, pays homage to Catherine Dior—Monsieur Dior’s sister, a French Resistance fighter and devoted gardener—through a spiral motif that echoes the form of a dove. Crafted from sculpted tulle, pearlescent discs, iridescent sequins, glass beads, and crystals, the bag captures the shimmering, light-sensitive qualities of Cannon’s paintings. Even the handles are conceived as sacred jewels, symbolizing the connection between the hand, creation, and the divine.This intimate collaboration with the Dior ateliers—blending craftsmanship, symbolism, and poetic vision—offers a powerful meditation on the Lady Dior as both object and experience.Download the episode to step into Jessica Cannon’s universe and discover her journey with Dior Lady Art #10.
