Fabworthy: Louis Vuitton Sprouse Collection Grafitti Monogram Sarong

FabSugar — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 14:00:22 -0800

By now, you've seen Louis Vuitton's Stephen Sprouse collection and gone behind the seams of the big bash. Now it's time to bring it home.

eLuxury currently houses the LV Stephen Sprouse line but one piece in particular stood out: this Louis Vuitton Sprouse Collection Grafitti Monogram Sarong ($365). Well, it wasn't hard considering the neon green writing. It's not cheap, but considering it's a limited-edition piece and a tribute to an iconic '80s artist, it's a sound investment.

Behind the Seams: Louis Vuitton Pays Tribute to Stephen Sprouse

FabSugar — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 04:00:22 -0800

Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs threw a big bash as a tribute to artist Stephen Sprouse. You may recall that Marc designed an entire graffiti-inspired collection in honor of the man. Unfortunately, the deceased Sprouse couldn't be there to greet his guests, but his presence was certainly felt. Models Agyness Deyn, Chanel Iman, Arlenis Sosa, and Erin Wasson, as well as actresses Brooke Shields and Molly Sims, all convened at the LV store in SoHo, then moved the festivities to the Bowery Ballroom. Debbie Harry sang, neon lights glowed, and the fun went on and on . . .

Sneak Peek! Marc Jacobs's Homage to Stephen Sprouse

FabSugar — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 12:00:22 -0800

Try to peel your eyes of Marc Jacobs's glistening bod and focus on the bag.

The graffiti prints and Day-Glo colors are all part of the Louis Vuitton's limited-edition capsule collection honoring the late Stephen Sprouse.

In his homage, Jacobs uses Sprouse's famous graffiti and rose prints to create a pop art collection of bags, footwear, and clothes. “It’s this idea of a head-to-toe look in this brash, neon, rock ’n’ roll, edgy, street-informed style," said Jacobs. Sprouse really best personified it.”

The exclusive collection debuts next month along with a special website dedicated to Sprouse dubbed welovesprouse.com. The site, set to go live Dec. 15., will feature cool interviews from people who knew Sprouse and their commentary on how he influenced fashion and art.

On Our Radar: Marc Jacobs Graffitis Louis Vuitton

FabSugar — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 08:00:22 -0700

Marc Jacobs was so smitten by his 2001 collaboration with designer and artist Stephen Sprouse that he has created a capsule collection in his honor.

“I totally channeled Stephen,” Jacobs said of the Louis Vuitton line, which includes t-shirts, dresses, sunglasses, bracelets, a towel, and a sweatband.

Sprouse passed away in 2004, but his streetwise aesthetic and Day-Glo graffiti were highly popular in the '80s. Another "very Sprouse" item includes a custom-made skateboard and skateboard case which is going to be up for auction.

Celebrity Style: Kate Moss

FabSugar — Fri, 19 Jan 2007 11:31:54 -0800

Kate Moss sure has been in the public eye lately, and we love how her fashions never let us down. She was spotted dressed down in London this week braving the cold while leaving a friend's house. Her bright red cheetah print scarf really makes this outfit, and let me just say it is quite refreshing to see such a fashionista sporting last season's garb. Check out how Kate is using a makeup bag as a clutch - nice touch! To get this look, check out what we found.

FabSugar Designer of the Year Nominee: Louis Vuitton

FabSugar — Wed, 20 Dec 2006 16:48:02 -0800

The third nominee for FabSugar Designer of the Year is what you get when you pair one of the oldest French fashion houses with one of New York's fashion darlings. In 1997, Marc Jacobs was crowned the designer for Louis Vuitton and his collections have been spot on ever since. Pre-LV Marc Jacobs designed for Perry Ellis in 1986, and his tightly-knit polo shirts and cable knit cashmere sweater dresses gave way to grunge. Still remembered in fashion circles, the fashion wunderkind sent combat boots and dirty plaid down the runway, to very mixed results. Jacobs was fired in 1992...yes, fired! But whatever, that's just fashion history.

Marc immediately began an incredibly lucrative clothing business while modernizing Vuitton by collaborating with such artists as Stephen Sprouse (who irreverently graffitied bags) and later Takashi Murakami (who added a bubble-gum anime humor to the line). This year his Fall '06 collection was a trailblazer and his Spring '07 collection offered a big dose of true romance. Both would have made Mr. Vuitton proud.

Tune in tomorrow for our fourth nominee for FabSugar Designer of the Year and the voting will take place this Friday.
