The new series of Dior Talks – hosted by Paris-based journalist Katya Foreman – is dedicated to the eagerly anticipated ninth edition of Dior Lady Art. Eleven global artists have been invited to transform the iconic Lady Dior handbag into a unique piece of art.For our latest guest, the American artist Vaughn Spann, collaborating on Dior Lady Art meant a change of scale. Adopting a conceptual approach, the New Jersey-based talent recalibrated details from a selection of his monumental works for three distinctive day-to-night variations of the Lady Dior that capture the signature otherworldly colors, materiality and feel of the original works.Spann’s color-blocked red and black “Flame” Lady Dior has a richly textured, fiery, volcanic feel, while for the “Dalmatian” design, gridded, spotted abstractions offer a graphic twist on the bag’s signature motifs. Meanwhile, for his “Marked Man” Lady Dior, a giant opaque “X” motif floats on a sheer pink plexiglass base topped by a retro briefcase handle, playfully blurring masculine-feminine codes. Embodying a cross-pollination of fashion and art, the contemporary creations are designed to accompany the wearer on different occasions, whether to a gala, a nightclub or on a ski trip, offering the opportunity to live with the artist’s paintings in a more compact and intimate way.Download the episode to learn more about Spann’s universe and Dior Lady Art journey.
