You know, the S/S 2008 Richard Prince for Louis Vuitton line? It’s called “Big City After Dark”… and again- we get a glimpse into Richard Prince’s somewhat odd life and collections.

“I read that your inspirations for the designs came from “Louis Vuitton After Dark”. What does that mean, and how did you come to that direction?

The idea of After Dark came from a series of paperback books I’d been collecting. There’s this whole series that highlight different cities in the world and talk about what you can do in those cities after dark… I would describe these books as “adult”.
