Lifestyle JACK PIERSON Beloved in the art world and the fashion world alike, American artist Jack Pierson has created evocative, often erotically charged works in various media, including photography, word sculptures, and installations. Pierson's works are infused with nostalgia, yet his images are often buoyed by an aura of seduction. Far from simply seeking to create traditional variations on the American Dream, the artist explores the flip side of the concept, searching to express what he calls, "The tragedy inherent in pursuit of glamour." All of this he brings to his pair of exceptional Lady Dior bags with designs based on drawings he completed while staying in Paris: swirling and mesmerizing masses of silvers and greys. The medium-sized bag is perfect for daytime, achieving a cartoonish effect with electric-orange handles and bespoke charms that conjure art deco amusement. The small-sized bag is the opposite: vintage and classic,it's made wit gold and silver threads — an urbane night bag. Like the very best of Pierson's art, his vision for the house's iconic bag evokes feelings that are at once ephemeral and eternal.
