Dior is paying tribute to the Lady Dior handbag with a new retrospective book commemorating the tenth anniversary of the Dior Lady Art project.
Originally introduced in 1995 and named in honor of Lady Diana, Princess of Wales, the Lady Dior has come to embody the timeless elegance of the Dior universe.
Launched in 2016, the Dior Lady Art project invites artists from around the world to reinterpret the Lady Dior. To date, 99 artists have reimagined the bag in their own vision, from conceptual reinterpretations to material experiments that blur the line between fashion and fine art.
Among the international roster of creators are Judy Chicago, Jeffrey Gibson, Gilbert & George, Zhang Huan, Eva Jospin, Marc Quinn, Faith Ringgold, Raqib Shaw, Mickalene Thomas, and Joana Vasconcelos, among others.
The new volume, published by Rizzoli, features texts by Hervé Mikaeloff, Jérôme Hanover, and Anne Malherbe, with photography by Adrien Dirand. Presented in a 25.5 x 29.5 cm format and spanning 452 pages, the book captures over 270 original creations, specially staged and photographed to highlight the extraordinary craftsmanship of Dior’s ateliers and the diverse artistic languages of its collaborators.
The publication will be released on October 29, 2025, in France, and February 17, 2026, worldwide, retailing for $95.

The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) has announced updated dates for New York Fashion Week Autumn-Winter 2026, now set to take place from Wednesday, February 11 through Monday, February 16, 2026.
The adjustment, shared in a message from Joseph Maglieri, director of fashion week initiatives, follows a careful review of the global fashion calendar to better align New York’s schedule with London, Milan, and Paris Fashion Weeks while accommodating major holidays and cultural events in the United States.
“This change allows us to remain close to the fashion weeks following us while keeping NYFW a week later in February 2026 to provide teams the time needed to prepare,” Maglieri explained.
“Since NYFW September 2025 began a week later this past season, if we kept the dates early in February – as traditionally done for the autumn-winter season – this would have resulted in over a week of lost time for brands and their teams to prepare while creating an unnecessarily large distance of time between New York and London, Milan, and Paris.”
The updated timeline ensures a more cohesive global schedule and supports designers and production teams as they transition between seasons.
Applications for placement on the official NYFW schedule will open in early November, 2025, with the final calendar expected to be released in January, 2026.

The trousers and shorts category contributed $***.** million (**.** per cent) to total imports, marginally down from $*,***.** million (**.** per cent) in January–July ****, showing resilience as consumers continue to favour essential wardrobe staples despite the overall downturn, according to *fashion.com/market-intelligence/texpro-textile-and-apparel/” target=”_blank”>sourcing intelligence tool TexPro.
Trousers and shorts remain Austria’s leading apparel import category, maintaining roughly one-fourth of total imports despite value declines. This stability suggests consumers are prioritising practical, trans-seasonal garments that offer longevity and value for money, while categories such as dresses and jerseys saw sharper contractions. Retailers appear to be shifting towards versatile, all-season assortments to manage stock risks in a slower fashion cycle.
