There have been a lot of iconic handbags in the last century, and one of them is the Lady Dior bag, which is now being immortalized into art by more than 50 artists in the 'Lady Dior As Seen By' exhibit.
Running now until Jan. 16, the 'Lady Dior As Seen By' exhibit is taking place in Beijing at the China Central Place. International artists, including Mikael Jansson, Eric Maillet, Roxanne Lowit, Vincent Beaurin and Nicolas Mille (see the dedicated website for more artists), have submitted their own unique take on the iconic IT bag. The result is over 50 sculptural and photographic interpretations -- ranging from simple colorful recreations to one that seems to house a fossil! -- of the quilted and structured Lady Dior handbag.
