It has been two decades since Louis Vuitton first collaborated with globally renowned contemporary artist Takashi Murakami. This historic partnership, which reshaped the fashion world, has been brought back to life with the release of the "LOUIS VUITTON x MURAKAMI" collection. Representing the new generation is Hina Yoshihara, an icon who embodies a fresh and vibrant sensibility, perfectly capturing the lively, pop-inspired worldview of the collection.
A 360° Impact That Captivates
The collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami, first launched two decades ago, was groundbreaking in every way. For the first time in the brand’s history, the iconic monogram pattern was reimagined, giving it a glamorous and dynamic twist that revitalized the fashion world. The newly revived "LOUIS VUITTON x MURAKAMI" collection takes advantage of advanced technology to more accurately and vividly reproduce Murakami's iconic characters and motifs. The result is a collection that captures attention from every angle, at every moment.
The Allure of Colorful Monograms
The first chapter of the "LOUIS VUITTON x MURAKAMI" collection features the "Monogram Multicolor" line, where the classic LV initials and Monogram Flower motif are reinterpreted in 33 vibrant colors. The city bag, with its colorful signature set against a white background, offers a playful take on contemporary style while paying homage to early 21st-century popular culture.
A Bold Touch to Your Style
The Pochette Accessoires is the perfect accessory to carry your essentials in style. The white and Monogram Multicolor design has a fresh, youthful feel while still reflecting the essence of the early 2000s. Its vibrant, light presence adds the perfect finishing touch to both sophisticated jacket styles and casual everyday looks.
A Reunion of Imagination and Craftsmanship
The "LOUIS VUITTON x MURAKAMI" series represents a reunion of Murakami’s imaginative, colorful world and Louis Vuitton’s expertise in creativity and craftsmanship. Over two hundred pieces will be available, including playful items originally created by Murakami for Marc Jacobs, the creative director of the original collection, as well as new iconic bags and small leather goods. This series, beloved across generations and styles, invites you to experience the fusion of art and fashion in your own way.
A Minimalist Statement
The Speedy, Louis Vuitton's signature bag, was born in 1930, inspired by the era's high-speed transportation. Continuing its legacy, the Nano Speedy, released in 2015, has become popular for its minimalist yet distinctive style. The Louis Vuitton x Murakami collection features a design that plays on the contrast between black and Monogram Multicolor. This masterpiece blends cuteness with coolness, adding a stylish essence to your everyday life.
Elegance Meets Pop Culture
The Capucines BB, named after the Rue des Capucines in Paris where Louis Vuitton opened its first store in 1854, is part of a series that exudes classic elegance. Adorned with Takashi Murakami's "Superflat Garden," this bag is infused with Murakami's playful and creative ideas. Every time you carry it, you’ll be reminded of the joy of fashion.
The first chapter of the Louis Vuitton x Murakami collection also highlights the whimsical "Superflat Panda" character, which appears on the signature "On the Go BB" version, a nod to Louis Vuitton’s iconic codes. Add the matching charm, seemingly lifted directly from the bag’s design, and you’ll embrace pop style like no other.
