So it seems that Louis Vuitton, the French fashion house, has commissioned a range of artists and designers to reinterpret the LV monogram on a handful of leather goods. Notable icons they commissioned were: Rei Kawakubo, Christian Louboutin, Karl Lagerfeld, Cindy Sherman, Frank Gehry and Marc Newson. Only Rei’s burned out bag matters to me, only $2790
Upon seeing Japan’s first Louis Vuitton store in 1978, Rei Kawakubo discovered the allure of French craftsmanship and art de vivre. Today, the creator of Comme des Garçons applies her radical, refined aesthetic to a House icon, revisiting the Sac Plat with boldly conceived asymmetrical cutouts and raw-edged details to produce this provocative “Bag with Holes.” Sleek and capacious, the bag is a natural for travel in durable Monogram canvas. The practical insert pouch keeps belongings secure.
