the iconoclast redux

rumours have been circulating that Louis Vuitton will be re-issuing their legendary Monogram Graffiti collection designed by Stephen Sprouse next year. initially it was said that they will be redoing the black & while glazed leather version from the 2001 collection:

then a fellow tPF member said it will be on Monogram canvas with the Graffiti print done in neon colours.

a Speedy and Keepall is most likely included on the lineup along with a couple of newbies such as the Neverfull and Lockit. im definitely interested in a Keepall. im thinking orange or yellow graffiti would be fantastic. hopefully photos will emerge soon.

but not only that, following the success of Stephen Sprouse's leopard pattern seen on the hottest scarf since Fall 2006...

...they will also reintroduce his rose print in red or possibly neon colours as well. earmarked for a Valentine's Day release, so far it will only be done in a Mini Accessories Pochette. here's the original rose print from the S/S 2001 runway:

i like how the pattern almost mimics camouflage. but if done in a different colour, im not sure if it will still have the same effect. although i still think it has potential.


i regretfully passed on these when the first ones came out in 2001. since then i swore not to make the same mistake.
