Lady Dior Art Project Launches In Time for Art Basel
The Lady Dior is as iconic as handbags come. Blair Waldorf wore one in just about every color over the six years she graced our television screens. Now, the bag is getting a modern art upgrade ahead of the fashion week of the art world: Art Basel. The #LadyDiorArt project began when artist Marc Quinn was asked to create a bag for the London store's opening and has since grown to include seven artists in total.
Jason Martin, Ian Davenport , Mat Collishaw, Matthew Porter, Daniel Gordon, Chris Martin and Marc Quinn all created unique works of art that can now be worn by art collectors and fashion It Girls alike. Limited quantities will be sold starting in Miami during the event, and then bags will become available in Los Angeles, Europe and Asia soon after.
Prices are steep, ranging from $4,900 to $11,500 for the mink bag but hey, where else are you going to get two pieces of art in one? Ahead, see all of the amazing #LadyDiorArt bags.
