Louis Vuitton’s Murakami Monogramouflage: Look Familiar?

Does Louis Vuitton’s Monogramouflage look familiar? My first thought upon seeing it was “Bape”! But really, this pop camo really has just been done before- I mean, think Tomoaki “Nigo” Nagao’s Bape Camo (A Bathing Ape), or Pharell William’s Billionaire Boy’s Club camo. Take a look:

I mean, are you following me?

Don’t get me wrong. Both Bape and BBC are great companies. And clearly, the founders of both are friends and contemporaries with Murakami- so perhaps this influenced him?

Don’t get me wrong… as I blogged about a couple weeks ago- Murakami has a history in Camo.  And I guess, everyone else is doing camo- so why not! What do you think?

Skateboard P. Does Louis V.

Well, the long awaited jewelry line- a collaboration between Pharrell Williams, (aka: Skateboard P., rapper and co-founder of the Billionaire Boy’s Club clothing line, and Ice Cream Footwear) and Louis Vuitton will finally be released this January in Paris. I’m loving the Louis Vuitton trunk images from his recent LV photoshoot- and am excited to see the new line!
