Mark Jacobs does it again

Mark Jacobs hittar alltid på något galet och udda. Minns ni hans reklamkampanjer med Victoria Beckham (som jag dock inte var förtjust i)?

Denna gång kommer han ut med en limiterad kollektion för Louis Vuitton till minne av den bortgångna designern Stephen Sprouse.

I proposed putting together a Vuitton version of the Pop Shop, which was Keith Haring’s concept…not reissuing products that we had done with Stephen, but doing things that were similar or new,

Jacobs took two iconic Sprouse motifs — the graffiti and the rose — and interpreted them in Day-Glo shades of pink, green and orange over the Monogram print. The motifs are featured on Vuitton’s Keepall, Speedy and Neverfull bag styles, as well as basketball sneaker boots, pumps, sunglasses, headbands and wristbands, and small leather goods like wallets and coin purses. The rtw includes a mackintosh raincoat with a graffiti and monogram lining, graffiti leggings and a long-sleeve neon minidress featuring the rose design.

I tried to take what Stephen had done at Vuitton and then kind of flip it in my head, and make it Vuitton’s work for Stephen, not Stephen’s work for Vuitton,” Jacobs said. “I just felt it was a funny way to play with it, to pretend to be Sprouse for a bit, and use the work that he did, and then bring it back to the work that he did before I collaborated with him.

Vad tycker ni om Mark's halvnakna foton? Själv säer han följande:

I don’t have a problem taking my clothes off, as anybody who has picked up a magazine in the past year could tell you. I had no qualms or shame about it but knew fully well that any full frontal nudity wouldn’t be appropriate for Harper’s Bazaar.
