She hopes visitors will want to be inspired and rejuvenated, and to reconnect with people. Those who go for work can have activities curated specially them, under its "Corporate Events, Reimagined" programme.

The Lady Dior is christened after the late Princess Diana, who first received the emblematic Dior bag from France’s first lady, Bernadette Chirac, in 1995.

Read the story behind it, then visit "Lady Dior As Seen By" at the brand’s pop-up store in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur. The exhibition, on until March 27, shows how contemporary artists from around the world used the bags as a canvas, reinventing and transforming them into works of art.
