About

I am an artist, but I call myself a designer. The difference is that a designer plans with precision and sophistication, giving order to or addressing a problem with the goal of solving it. An artist is someone who practices then demonstrates. The art may be personal or what society has deemed cultur

Dior: The Art of Color

Femininity, beauty, colour: these are themes upon which both photography and the House of Dior built their founding values. From this shared aesthetic quest “Dior, The Art of Colour” was born. For the first time last year in Arles, this exhibition presented the photographic and chromatic universes of

Today, Dior decided to renew the experience by launching an unprecedented prize called the Dior Photography Award for Young Talents, in partnership with the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie and hosted by Luma Arles.

A 22-YEAR-OLD PHOTOGRAPHER IS ELEVATING WOMEN’S BEAUTY ROUTINES TO FINE ART

Photographer Julien Tucker is not most 22-year-olds. In fact, when we caught up with him at the Art of Color: Dior Beauty Photo Award for Emerging Talents Exhibition in Arles, France, a few weeks ago, he was still a few day

Hosted by the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie and The Luma Foundation, the Dior Beauty event showcased up-and-coming stars in the photography world playing on color, femininity, and beauty with the theme of “Woman-Women Faces.” The judges included none other than industry icons Peter Lindberg and Simon Baker.

I inquired what this type of international exposure could mean for such young creatives. "There are a lot of artists from China, from South Korea, and for them to be invited to come all the way here and see all of the things that are in the show is fantastic. It could be really life changing."
