A calfskin canvas entirely embroidered in sequins and gold and black glass beads that go to make up the constellation of the snake with its moon phases. It is the Lady Dior that the fashion house dedicates to Lunar Year 2025, the Chinese New Year that this year is celebrated on January 29.
2025 is the year of the Yin Wooden Serpent.
Based on the lunosolar calendar, Chinese astrology predicts 12 zodiac signs, alternating one each year with a 12-year cycle. Two more are added to this cycle, one based on yin and yang and the other on the 5 elements (Wood, Stone, Metal, Water, Fire). According to Chinese astrology therefore, 2025 will be Snake of Wood Yin, a year that invites rapid and profound transformation, but with wisdom and common sense.
The Lady Dior Astral also exists in a simpler version, in milk-colored calfskin with the astrological motif embroidered in black and white thread. Both versions have gold metal Dior charms, personalized with embossed stars.
