After the successful collaboration of Louis Vuitton and artist Stephen Sprouse in 2001, the two team up for the second time, utilizing the very same graffiti print. This time around they worked on bags, sneakers, shoes, sunglasses as well as some clothing and many more accessories.
Just in time for the “Rock On Mars” retrospective that will be taking place at Deitch Projects from January 8th, and the release of “The Stephen Sprouse Book”, Louis Vuitton will be coming out with the commemorative collection this month.
Along with the release of the product, Louis Vuitton will launch welovesprouse.com, a website dedicated to the artist, showcasing interviews with people that knew Sprouse. In celebration of the new LV release, Marc Jacobs posed nude painted in Sprouse’s graffiti print for Harper’s Bazaar’s January issue (see below), which was shot by Terry Richardson. Via WWD/TBA.
Let’s see how fast the collection will sell out this time around. We already have our eyes on the sneakers!

Have you ladies seen these Chanel stilettos with gun-shaped heels? The shoes are a part of Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2009 collection -
Madonna was recently spotted rocking a pair on the red carpet -
Although the shoes have yet to hit the shops, Chanel representatives have informed us that there is a huge waiting list for the shoes, which are expected to sell for $2,200 a pair. Yikes!
For as long as the Clipse have been around you’ve probably seen them in the newest Bape or BBC/Ice Cream clothing but as of late Pusha and Malice have been working on their own clothing line entitled, Play Cloths.
Here's what the hip hop duo had to say about their new line:
“The vision of Play Cloths derives from early childhood memories of your mother designating the clothes that were juts for school and the ones for play. This idea has been adapted to our everyday lives..whether you’re at play on the streets of Harlem or on the beach’s of San Tropez.”
Here's a few more items from their Winter '08 collection -
The pieces we've seen so far are pretty dope, and we expect to see more of the same in 2009. Stay tuned!
