For the ninth iteration of Dior’s Lady Art project, Danielle Mckinney has put her own spin on the fashion house’s iconic Lady Dior bag. Inspired by moments of quiet introspection, Mckinney’s design features a hand-embroidered silhouette of a woman. Cocooned in her coat, the subject is visited by a butterfly, which is used to convey the ‘flight of imagination.’
