Belgian designer Isaac Monté has transformed the iconic Lady Dior handbag into a visual metaphor for growth through his Crystallized series. This collaboration with Dior explores the interplay between fashion and contemporary art, drawing on the natural processes of mineral formation. Each handbag, uniquely crafted through layering minerals and oxides, reflects Monté's fascination with organic development, yielding pieces that vary widely in appearance. His work not only redefines luxury accessories but also invites philosophical contemplation on patience and the role of nature in art.
The crystallization process not only transforms a handbag but elevates the concept of luxury to an organic, living narrative, embodying the essence of patience and experimentation.
Monté’s philosophy is rooted in letting nature guide the creation, where every object—each Lady Dior bag—tells a unique story shaped by its surroundings.
