Just when you thought Louis Vuitton could not get any more ubiquitous, they come up with a new line for men, the Louis Vuitton Monogramouflage Collection. And yes, apparently that is the real name. It is meant to be 'the' LV pattern for men, but I would hope men with style would not want to go near LV in the first place!
It really is a remarkable mix of camouflage and Louis Vuitton, inspired by the work of Takashi Murakami.
As you would expect, it is not cheap; the Treillis tote, for example, costs $1,610 and the Keepall 55 duffle bag is $1,930.
Being expensive clearly is no guarantee of taste. I hate Louis Vuitton at the best of times as it is really just brown and drab and dull - in my eyes, this new pattern takes it to a whole new level of tackiness.
