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?
