Dior's Amazing New Handbag Collab Belongs in a Museum
How do you turn a timeless, ladylike bag into an amazing work of art? You invite a slew of artists to reinterpret the accessory, of course. That's exactly what Dior has done: The brand tapped seven different artists—Matthew Porter, Jason Martin, Ian Davenport, Mat Collishaw, Daniel Gordon, Chris Martin, and Marc Quinn—to give the Lady Dior bag their own personal stamp. The resulting collaboration, dubbed Dior Lady Art, might as well belong in a museum.
"The Lady Dior bag, created in 1995, is an expression of the contemporary refinement of the house and lends itself to a wealth of interpretations and artistic appropriation," Dior explained in a press release. "The project gives carte blanche to artists who have transposed their own creative universes into the Dior leatherworking language." Dying to see what they've come up with? Scroll down to see the pretty bags, which will debut at Dior's Miami boutique.

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
