Louis Vuitton x Jeff Koons Handbags 2017 : Alicia Vikander by Mert & Marcus

I feel kinda guilty here because I found myself interested in that "RUBENS" backpack
But in another way I'm kinda tired of this thing of play around with a such huge house to make something ironic, silly but in a ''conceptual way''. Supreme colab were so much better than this and Supreme is a "ironic" brand...
You can't take this bags serious, so, at least, they should have done something more playful with campaign because is very ridiculous see Alicia "seriously posing like a model" holding that weird bag...

This is so bad I cannot believe it's coming from LOUIS VUITTON of all brands.

I like how Koons is leading way, beaming with pride, while carrying such atrociously hideous bags!

It's a truly ugly backpack, I'm sorry. Patrick Demarchelier shot some LV ambassadors at the event, and they stuck Michelle Williams next to this backpack. Much like the one you seem to like, but in blue and white - even worse. I would say rather get a Chanel backpack (if they're even still available), instead of LV

Did Koons actually design this??? It would be better for him to stick to pandering to the masses with his 'art'.

It's really bad, 100% cheap fast fashion, not LV worthy.

Horrible collaboration with a campaign to match. Perfect.

I actually think if there's a brand that I would expect to do this sort of cheap things... it would be Vuitton.

I always thought Vuitton and their tacky cheap aesthetic, was sorta tongue in cheek, not now though, I seriously believe they think this the epitome of chic or at least trying to portray it as that.
I guess it sells, but I seriously do not understand what the hell there doing with Vuitton or any of the other brands in Arnault's stable. I cannot wait for the day LVMH crumbles and Arnault goes broke but that will never happen. People are too attached to the names and legacy of Monsieur Dior and the actual interesting things Marc did at Vuitton, to actually care they are getting ripped off. Fendi is about the only LVMH brand that still has some cachet design wise.

^I would say Céline is the most genuine brand at LVMH. Dior and LV... or Givenchy. I just can't with them.

Don't understand the hate toward this. I like the fact the campaign stands out from all the other campaigns Nicolas Ghesquière has done for Louis Vuitton (obviously this has the input of Jeff Koons too) and I certainly don't hate it. The desert concept takes me back to M&M's Louis Vuitton campaign for Spring 2004.

the difference is that i wanted to be in that desert in 2004... and i don't wanna anywhere near this mess LOL

Yeah I forgot about Celine and I would say Loewe also, but I also think Phobe and J.W. have more freedom because they are not billion dollar businesses.

It's almost sad to admit but it's true. I mean, LV is LVMH's cash cow. The fact that this collaboration was initiated by Delphine Arnault and Michael Burke says everything. For me, it says a lot that the creative director of the house has nothing to do with such an important "creative" project.
Nicolas is also known for his interest in art. Balenciaga's stores were designed by Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster for god's sake. It's a pity that he didn't have the occasion to do something with an artist yet.

Dior also comes as "cheap" for me. What i hate about fashion houses is when the executive part is that present as it is in those two brands.

I've always loved Fendi for that. It's LVMH but it's almost still run like a family business. Their shows don't even look like a billion dollar-brand show.

There's something very organic about most of LVMH's brands that i don't find in Vuitton or Dior. It's not even a question of size...
Chanel is like Dior and Vuitton but it's always very organic and genuine even when it's OTT.

To be honest, everything about this Koons thing is already dated. The choice itself of Koons is weird.
In the past, i wasn't a big fan of Vuitton bags and Nicolas changed that to be honest. But this collection just reminds me everything that i hate about Vuitton.

IDK why I liked, I would not wear it for sure, I have no courage Actually what I really liked was the bag version, so I think thats why.
And yes, I would rather a Chanel backpack too. SS15 (I think) had one that I liked, but it's probably not available anymore...

What a waste of leather, money, and resources. Why would these be considered "Art"? It's a painting printed on leather with letters glued on. They could have done something really special with the paintings like embossing, embroidery, or even embellishment! Instead they hired an "artist" and produced a collection of souvenir bags that look extremely cheap. They will surely flop and with good reason!

 

[Nomar]

I still can't believe this is even real. It's such a disgrace to art and I feel sorry for Alicia having to be a part of this.
