DIOR LIMITED EDITION CREATIONS BY MARC QUINN

To celebrate its new store opening in London New Bond Street, Dior launches a limited edition accessories line with British contemporary artist Marc Quinn. On four floors, the new Dior’s boutique is the biggest store of the Maison in the United Kingdom. The boutique showcases all Dior’s lines with the exclusive addition of the first Dior HOME Collection. On the same occasion, the Maison is also unveiling its limited edition collection with Marc Quinn who was asked to reinterpret the iconic Lady Dior bag. By transposing his hyper-realist oil paintings onto Dior’s creations, the Lady Dior bag and other small leather accessories present floral prints drawn from the artist’s art work creating vivid yet dramatic landscapes on the iconic pieces. On another hand, the artist offers the « Fossil Record » Lady Dior bag, with flowers reliefs embossed into silver leather. In this way, the relationship between man and nature is a focal point of the collection, questioning its untamed and wild beauty.
