   Ju Ting’s Amber Visions: Sculpting the Lady Dior for Dior Lady Art #10

   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 international artists were invited to reinterpret the iconic Lady Dior handbag, transforming it into a one-of-a-kind artwork. In this episode, we meet Beijing-based abstract artist Ju Ting, originally from Shandong Province. Celebrated for her fusion of painting and sculpture, Ju transforms thick layers of acrylic paint into sculptural surfaces — folded, carved, and fractured to reveal dazzling plays of texture, color, and depth. Drawing on the language of printmaking, the artist blurs the boundaries between mediums, with ruptures and cracks that symbolically echo the cuts and wounds of life itself. For her Dior Lady Art collaboration, Ju drew inspiration from her Amber Series, a body of work meditating on uncertainty, fragility, and the eternity hidden within fleeting moments. She translated this vision into two reinventions of the Lady Dior: a medium-sized version in calfskin, sculpted with folds, layered textures, and a gleaming metal handle, its undulating panels evoking kinetic art and creating optical illusions that shift with each movement; and a miniature version, alive with high-frequency stripes and embroidered glass tubes that echo the vibrant, rhythmic surfaces of her paintings. Illuminated by bright tones, mirror-effect linings, and balloon-like charms, both designs imbue the Lady Dior with motion and playful contrast, bridging fragility and strength, tradition and innovation, art and fashion.

   Faces, Feathers, and Constellations: The Dior Lady Art Universe of Inès Longevial

   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 Paris-based painter Inès Longevial, whose poetic universe explores the layered nature of femininity, intimacy, and intuition through soft forms, symbolic detail, and a nuanced use of color. Known for working from her own face while resisting the conventions of self-portraiture, Longevial’s figures become emotional vessels—suggestive rather than prescriptive, inviting open interpretation. For her Dior Lady Art collaboration, the artist reimagined the Lady Dior as a tactile companion—alive, expressive, and full of secrets. Drawing from childhood memories of her grandmother’s quilting, she embraced patchwork as a method of storytelling, assembling drawings, fabrics, and gestures into vivid compositions. Rather than simply transferring an existing work onto a bag, she sought to collaborate with Dior’s artisans to transform the Lady Dior into something lively, bold, and a touch audacious. One of her creations bursts with satin, feathers, and a sense of joyful excess. Centered on the motif of the face—a recurring theme in her practice—this patchwork piece, infused with the exuberant spirit of Niki de Saint Phalle, becomes a miniature stage where symbolic portraits unfold in layers of emotion and meaning. Motifs such as serpents, suns, and flowers suggest hidden narratives and personal secrets, inviting the viewer to look closer—to read between the threads. The second, a smaller version crafted entirely from shimmering glass beads, is vibrant, playful, and unrestrained, balancing intimate charm with after-dark sophistication. The third, more sculptural in spirit, conjures a “star-faced” figure, its surface embroidered with constellations that follow the intuitive movement of her brush. Inside one bag, a hand-painted constellation awaits discovery—a hidden universe that, like much of Longevial’s work, invites wonder, tenderness, and a sense of play.

   A Balcony in Bloom: Eva Jospin Transforms the Iconic Lady Dior

   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. Download the episode to step inside Eva Jospin’s enchanting world and discover her unique vision for Dior Lady Art #10. Hosted on Ausha.
