International tennis sensation Emma Raducanu has been announced as the face of Dior’s latest campaign for the Lady 95.22 bag, a reinterpretation of the iconic Lady Dior.
First unveiled at the Dior Autumn-Winter 2022-2023 ready-to-wear show, the Lady 95.22 bag was created as a celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Lady Dior collection. Its updated name is derived from the year of its creation, 1995, and its reinterpretation last year.
The Lady Dior bag was named after the late Princess Diana, who famously carried the initial iteration of the bag when it was then called the Chouchou. It has been a prominent style in the fashion industry for nearly three decades.
With the contemporary design, Dior’s Creative Director Maria Grazia Chiuri celebrated the original bag’s storied roots by “exalting the multiple facets of a plural femininity.” The bag has retained its sophisticated look, with subtly curved silhouettes that make it a bold fashion statement.
