Louis Vuitton: Stephen Sprouse Collection

By now I'm sure everyone knows that Louis Vuitton has remodeled their stores to feature the newest collection which uses the legendary graffiti style artwork of Stephen Sprouse. The new collection provides a refreshing outlook on a classic fashion house that has stayed very close to their roots for years. The line that started with trunks and revolutionized the way that people traveled by introducing the flat, stackable trunk; has reached a new frontier. I feel like this drastic change has modernized the fashion giant. Everyone didn't agree with Marc Jacobs decision to change the monogram, he himself said that when he was hired he was instructed not to change the monogram but if you pay any attention to MJ you would notice that he is loved and respected for thinking outside of the box and shaking things up, so it would be safe to say that he is a fashion rebel. He then took the initiative to shake up LV and now it has been accepted and approved. Personally I wasn't a fan of the collection upon initial release but after further review I like certain pieces from the collection and I think that overall it is for the greater good. Change is inevitable and everyone isn't always going to want to change but without change there can be no progression.

This collection has been Coolness P approved.
