From The Jonathan Anderson Dream Library

a squarish tote bag in light blue cotton that is supposed to be the color of the early 20th century greek flag but honestly i can't tell from here, has an adapted design of the cover of the first edition of ulysses by james joyce and the dior logo embroidered on it, all in white
Ulysses: Dior Medium Book Tote with Strap, $US3,600

There are 12 books in the Jonathan Anderson Dream Library. The titles are presented here as a selection of the 94 Dior products Anderson made by adapting the cover designs of their first editions. Except for the Ulysses by James Joyce Dior Medium Book Tote with Strap in embroidered cotton and calfskin, which greg.org hero Michael Seiwert brought to my attention today via a repost of @ahablives.bsky.social, they are in alphabetical order by author:

a thin white woman with olive complexion and dark hair stands forlornly against an ornately carved wood paneling or perhaps it's plaster molding, who knows because it's all painted flat white. she wears a short sleeved fitted sweater in dark green silk with tan embroidery of a foliate frame around the title pride and prejudice jane austin dior that is supposed to be the design of the first edition cover, but that doesn't match, and austen's name famously doesn't even appear on the cover or frontispiece of p&p, but whatever jonathan anderson is a visionary ig
Book Cover Short Sleeve Fitted Sweater in green and beige silk, $US1,750

Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen, is represented only by this short-sleeve fitted silk sweater, which may be a relief, since the design does not track with the 1813 T. Egerton edition. The closest match I can find is the clamshell box of the British Library’s 250th anniversary deluxe facsimile edition, but it doesn’t match that, either.

a moody white boy with brown hair leans away from the camera against a white carved paneled wall, head in slight profile, but that's not important, because he's selling the hell out of the grey bule bomber jacket he's wearing, with a popped collar the design for the cover of ch. baudelaire, les fleurs du mal, first edition, embroidered on the back in white, with a border of white thorns and with the dior logo. it's reversible, in case you somehow didn't want to broadcast your four thousand dollar jacket purchase from behind
Reversible Zip Jacket with Book Cover Embroidery, $US3,600

Les Fleurs du Mal, Charles Baudelaire, is available, like several titles, in a Medium Book Tote, a Sweater, Shirt, T-shirt, Scarf, and Bifold Card Holder. But it is uniquely available in a Reversible Zip Jacket in grey and blue wool/viscose blends.

the design for the cover of anthony burgess's novel a clockwork orange is a red and yellow background, red on top, and a nearly featureless white male face and shoulders in a bowler hat and green shirt. thre is a gear or target where an eye would be. all of this is embroidered onto a squarish tote bag from dior, which logo is also embroidered on there, in red, right on the guy's throat
Large Dior Book Cover Multicolor Book Cover Embroidery, $US3,900

A Clockwork Orange, Anthony Burgess, as Large Dior Book Cover with Multicolor Book Cover Embroidery which, ngl, I cannot tell if it is appliquéd or printed cotton with Embroidery, but the product page also has a small soundtrack-related game.

a black calfskin passport holder is folded and standing upright, with the white broken glass motif and in cold blood truman capote dior printed on the face.

eric carle the very hungry caterpillar book cover with title author, and iconic illustration of a curved green caterpillar with a fat segmented body and a red head with, in this context, it's obvious, deranged starved eyes, is embroidered in great detail on a white cotton squarish book tote with dark handles and strap by dior, which is also embroidered on there btw, and is sold out at three thousand eight hundred dollars
Medium Dior Book Tote with Strap, $US3,800

The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Eric Carle, in Medium Book Tote with Strap with Embroidery on Cotton and Calfskin features Carle’s entire caterpillar on one side, and a single apple on the other, which, honestly, eating one apple probably feels very relatable to Dior’s target market. Carle’s cover also appears on seven tops, and a pair of Dway Slides in White Embroidered Cotton.

Dior Book Cover Oversized Cropped T-Shirt, detail, $US1,150

Madame Bovary, Gustave Flaubert, in Book Cover Short-Sleeved Fitted Sweater in Ecru Silk is actually printed, which wtf, while Book Cover Oversized Cropped T-Shirt in Beige and Red Cotton Jersey is embroidered.

a squarish tote bag in ecru cotton and olive trim with the cover of tomasi di lampedusa's novel il gattopardo, which features a watercolor style profile of a heraldic leopard against a leafy green field, embroidered on the side panel of the bag, with the dior logo underneath it.

Bonjour Tristesse, François Sagan, in Medium Dior Book Cover Tote with Strap or by this point in a blog posting stunt, welcomes the sadness.

this square-edged yellow tote bag with red embroidery reading dracula by bram stoker dior in large, small, and tiny font, respectively, sits on a parquet floor next to a blue upholstered french chair, in a white paneled space, probably a dior showroom, or whatever the sliver of a white male wrist in a light blue cable knit sweater and dark grey flannel trousers are the fragments of the seated twink modeling the bag
Large Dior Book Tote, $US3,700

Dracula, Bram Stoker, or excuse me, Dracula, by Bram Stoker™ in Large Dior Book Tote Yellow and Red Book Cover Embroidery was, I thought, the payoff.

the back of a bright yellow puffer coat has the design of the cover of the first edition of dracula by bram stoker, giant red all cap letters and the name underneath, in a red outlined box, with Dior added to the bottom, because this is a four thousand dollar reversible dior puffer coat

how simple how demure, how is this actually a blanket in bright taxi cab yellow with the red letters dracula by bram stoker dior and red trim, as seen on the first edition of the book, but entirely made of cashmere with saddle stitched trim?

And Dracula, by Bram Stoker™ in Blanket Yellow and Red Cashmere.

Trinket Tray, $US220

Le Tour du Monde en 80 Jours, Jules Verne in Trinket Tray White Porcelain with Blue Book Cover Motif or whatever else feels almost an afterthought at this point.

a thin weary looking brown boy dressed in dark dior leans against a white paneled wall with a ten thousand five hundred dollar cashmere blanket in taxi yellow with the red all caps letters of dracula by bram stoker dior jacquard woven into it, i think, the design of the first edition of the book
Blanket, $US10,500

When I read, “The blanket may be worn over the shoulders or elegantly draped over living room furniture,” I think we’re close to the genesis of this project.

I am drafting my dream library for tote- and blanetification shortly.
