I never believe I’ve ever reacted to the announcement of a new handbag collection by saying “you have got to be kidding me” out loud to my laptop, but that is precisely what occurred when I realized artist Jeff Koons and his Masters collection of Louis Vuitton bags had been back for extra. I felt existentially terrorized by the collaboration’s benefits when the initial group debuted a number of months ago, particularly considering the fact that I’ve been such a vocal supporter of the path Vuitton’s bags have taken all round beneath inventive director Nicolas Ghesquiere’s leadership. Our readers pretty much uniformly hated the bags as well, which is why I was so shocked to see an extra 5 painters added to the collection earlier this week, as nicely as some new bag shapes.
Now Monet, Manet, Boucher, Turner and Gaugin have all been immortalized on Louis Vuitton bags, the lineup of which has expanded to involve the not too long ago well-liked Neonoe and Pochette Metis types. The new additions are just like the old ones: 1 of the artist’s classic paintings is rendered across the expanse of the bag’s exterior, and just for further subtlety and sophistication, the artist’s final name is then added atop it in huge, all-caps, gold-tone lettering. On a spiritual level, they nevertheless really feel like the fine art version of the mall kiosk bags that function Elvis and Marilyn Monroe’s stylized portraits, often wreathed in plastic crystals.
As with the earlier release phase, there is a vibrant spot: most of the artists also have their performs rendered on silk scarves or shawls, which do them a great deal superior justice and appear a great deal extra wearable. Verify out some of the bags beneath or head more than to Louis Vuitton to browse the complete choice.
