Louis Vuitton and Murakami join forces once again to breathe life back into an iconic collection that the two did back in 2003. After over two decades since the first collaboration between the artist and fashion house, it bloomed once again and made its debut on New Year's Day.
The designs take from the original visuals and are further enhanced technically. The Japanese artist showcases the signature colorful interpretation of the LV monogram, which is seen in 33 distinct colors. It is then applied to a plethora of products from classic handbags to functional skateboards. There are over 200 items in the capsule which extend beyond leather goods and to perfume bottles, and much more.
