Mircea Cantor: Collaboration with DIOR

Dvir Gallery is delighted to share that the Romanian artist Mircea Cantor was invited by  Dior to contribute to the redesign of the  Lady Dior bag in the eighth edition of the collaboration project between the fashion house and international artists

"I feel proud and honored to leave my touch on the iconic Lady Dior bag. My creation is called the Garden of paradise (Jardin du Paradis/ Grädina Raiului) inspired by a jacket that I found in the region in Romania from where my grandmother comes and superposing it on the square pattern derived from the classic Dior bags - a pattern that reminds me the rationality of The Chateau de Versailles gardens. Leather ropes twisted to enhance a solar geometry that ravels in front of your eyes like an endless entrelacs. Beyond the inherent beauty that radiates, I wanted to pay hommage to a lineage of artisans and krafts men that keep the flame alive via a permanent renewal of what we can call a universal tradition and savoir faire."
