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.
