The Lady Dior Exhibition: A Vietnamese Imprint on the Iconic Designs of the French Fashion House.

More than just marking its inaugural showcase in Vietnam, the Lady Dior House exhibition – a tribute to the illustrious legacy of the Christian Dior fashion empire – captivates with the unique artistic creations of two contemporary Vietnamese artists.

For those with a penchant for fashion, the Lady Dior handbag is more than a familiar silhouette; it's a testament to high functionality that is melded perfectly with every ensemble imaginable. With its intricate cannage pattern, Lady Dior captivates as a quintessential embodiment of the French maison's iconic design ethos, seamlessly encapsulating Dior's unparalleled elegance and distinctiveness. As time weaves its narrative, the extraordinary essence of Lady Dior continues to inspire a myriad of contemporary artists globally, showcased through the illustrious collections of Lady Dior As Seen By and Dior Lady Art. This masterpiece of design transcends its role as a mere accessory, becoming a pivotal point of convergence for the realms of high fashion and art, celebrating a legacy of sophistication, creativity, and timeless innovation.
Launched in 2016, the Dior Lady Art project invites artists globally to reimagine the iconic Lady Dior bag, transforming it into a canvas of creativity. The Lady Dior As Seen By exhibition, since 2011, has traveled from Shanghai to Berlin, showcasing unique artist collaborations. This endeavor not only celebrates artistic innovation but also honors Christian Dior's legacy, merging art with fashion in a tribute to the founder's initial foray into the art world before fashion. This exhibition epitomizes the elegance and creativity at the heart of Dior, blending haute couture with art in a compelling homage.
As the highlight of this year's exhibition circuit, Lady Dior House showcases Dior's iconic collaborations with global contemporary artists through the Lady Dior As Seen By and Dior Lady Art projects. Since its launch on March 15th at An Gallery, near Dior's Union Square boutique, the exhibition has introduced captivating new works by Vietnamese artists Tia – Thủy Nguyễn and Bùi Công Khánh, drawing acclaim from fashion enthusiasts. This event exemplifies Dior's blend of luxury and innovation, spotlighting its global platform for artistic dialogue.

Tia - Thủy Nguyễn's "Nang May" (Lady Cloud)

At the Lady Dior As Seen By exhibition, aficionados will encounter the iconic bag reimagined in a quartz version through the creative lens of Tia-Thủy Nguyễn. Explaining her choice of quartz as the primary material for this piece, the artist shares that, according to feng shui, quartz is a stone that balances energy, soothes the mind, crystallizes one’s thoughts, and erodes negative emotions.

From an aesthetic perspective, quartz bears a resemblance to clouds, allowing light to pass through and bend its path to reflect the surrounding environment. This contrast between the solidity of quartz and the ethereal nature of clouds challenges the viewer's imagination, inviting a contemplation that pushes the boundaries of personal interpretation. This interplay not only highlights the intricate beauty of Tia-Thủy Nguyễn’s work but also offers an open-ended invitation to explore the dynamic relationship between material and form, solid and void, inviting observers into a realm of limitless creativity and reflection.

Bùi Công Khánh and The Wandering Clouds

Bùi Công Khánh's Lady Dior design marvelously blends Vietnamese culture with contemporary fashion, using ceramic pieces inspired by Hội An temple mosaics. This fusion pays tribute to Vietnamese heritage, seamlessly merging it with the iconic elegance of Lady Dior, captivating fashion enthusiasts with a unique cultural dialogue.

An enchanting adventure enriched by the unique creations of Lady Dior As Seen By rekindles the fashion house's dialogue with promising talents and influential figures of the contemporary scene. Vietnamese artists Tia-Thủy Nguyễn and Bùi Công Khánh have also showcased two pieces in this collection.

This exclusive rendezvous celebrates diverse cultures and masterful craftsmanship, open from March 15 to April 14, 2024.
