DIOR LADY ART #3

For the third edition of Dior Lady Art, Artistic

Director Maria Grazia Chiuri invited an all-female

group of diverse artists of different generations and

nationalities - Colombia, Turkey, South Korea, China,

the United States, France and Japan. Maison Dior

gave them carte blanche to redesign the Lady Dior

Bag, customizing everything from the materials and

colors to the lucky charms to impart their individual

artistic style and imagination.

BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH AT THE LVMH INSTITUT DES MÉTIERS D EXCELLENCE

All apprentices from the IME in Italy came together

for a Global Master Class in the BVLGARI Maison. After

having worked for many months on a single topic, they

had the opportunity to put the various techniques they

had acquired in their respective crafts into practice. They

traveled to Valenza to see the creations of other classes,

which included a pair of Roma shoes, a gioiello tra terra e cielo (gem between heaven and earth) designed by the

IME ladies shoes class at Politecnico Calzaturiero.

For each craft, the IME organizes master classes, in addition

to the programs in place at partner schools, in which

apprentices have the opportunity to speak with experts,

artisans and designers from the Group, visit workshops and

stores, travel for their studies and put their savoir-faire into

practice by working in teams on themed projects for the

global master class.
