Dior's first collaboration collection with an artist is here! "Anselm Reyle for Dior," a collaboration with Anselm Reyle, a frontrunner in contemporary art, will be released worldwide on January 9, 2012.

A vibrant collection with dynamic energy and bursting colors





Anselm Reyle's collaboration reinterprets Dior's elegant icon, the "Lady Dior," with its signature "Cannage" motif twisted, tilted, and reimagined in various colors, giving it a bold and stimulating transformation. Given complete creative freedom, Reyle played with color, creating works that redefine the rules of Dior's couture maison.

Born in Germany in 1970, Reyle is a leading figure in contemporary art, known for his material printing that uses camouflage patterns as canvas and his "African sculptures." Since 2009, he has also been a professor at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts.

The collection features wallets with the reinterpreted Cannage motif, and the iconic "Lady Dior" bag, where the "DIOR" charms are transformed into colorful triangular charms, Reyle's graphic signature. Additionally, handbags, clutches, shoes, and scarves showcase vibrant camouflage patterns in Reyle's signature colorful palette. The collection extends to sunglasses, eyeshadows, and nail lacquers, totaling 80 items imbued with dynamic energy and bursting colors.
