OK, say what you will about Anna Wintour, but I just think she’s a little cutie! I mean, look at that face! I just want to pinch those cheeks!

This is Anna at the Murakami x Louis Vuitton x Brooklyn Museum of Art “Brooklyn Ball”. I’ve seen her carrying this particular piece before and I have to say I’m totally stumped by it.

What the heck is it? Agenda? Clutch? Book cover? I really can’t say.

EDITED:  Just got a note from DeluxeDuck….  It looks like this is “the Monogram Perle Pochette from S/S 2000. the Monogram pattern is made up of tiny beads.”  It was in the fakes episode of Sex in the City- Samantha carried it… Check the comments below.  Thanks Duck

(not such a great pic from Marc Jacob’s MySpace page…)

And is pretty fat.

Any of you have any other information on it? I love it… and would love to hear more!

… that I’ve seen. I mean, it isn’t Canvas. But interesting, none the less.

(FYI:  I’ve gotten a few emails on this- it’s not for sale, it was a “freebie” at the Murakami Brooklyn Museum Ball.  It has “Brooklyn Museum 2008″ embossed on the bottom.  Want one?  Check eBay )

Alright, alright… so there were some cheap seats for a measly $1000… but it’s being reported that some tickets went up to $75,000 a piece! Wowzers, that Kanye must put on one heck of a show!

If anyone went, I’d love to see some pics… sarah@fashionphile.com

From the Brooklyn Museum of Art press release:

“A selection of Monogram Multicolor bags and small leather goods will be available for sale for the duration of the © MURAKAMI exhibition. Styles for sale include the Alma, Speedy, Ursula, Beverly, Rita, Eugénie, and Alexandra. Just as the MOCA store presented a number of limited-edition Monogram canvasses revisited by Takashi Murakami, the Brooklyn store will also offer a new version of these “Editioned Canvasses,” signed by the artist and sold as exclusive art products. The new version, called Monogramouflage, is an exciting new pattern created by Takashi Murakami for Louis Vuitton, and gives viewers a glimpse of a bright new product line that will be launched at the Brooklyn Museum Louis Vuitton store on June 1 before being sold in selected Louis Vuitton stores worldwide. As the store may generate revenues, part of them will be donated to the Federal Enforcement Homeland Security Foundation.”

Oh, so interesting.  So will the Louis Vuitton multicolore be just standard issue, or limited edition Murakami Brooklyn Museum specials?  We’ll have to see.

There’s a whole bunch of Murakami stuff on the Brooklyn Museum website- available now, but no Louis Vuitton.

Monogramouflage will actually be officially unveiled at Louis Vuitton’s “Brooklyn Ball” launch party on April 3!
