Sprouse for Louis, Again?

stephen sprouse for louis part deux.jpgIs Louis Vuitton reviving the Stephen Sprouse graffiti bags for Spring?

Reports are flooding in from various magazines that samples of the now infamous black and white prints, along with a version printed in neon roses, are being called in - and they can’t all be vintage.

[Story time! I once spent a high school summer at Brown - it was my introduction to old east coast money and a lesson in all things brand-related when it wasn’t a lesson in Philosophy & Film. There was this one guy, he was going to Yale in the fall, who was psyched to get his girlfriend this “super exclusive, super expensive, limited-edition Stephen Sprouse for Louis Vuitton bag.” He talked about it all summer and I’m pretty sure that girlfriend eventually got ditched for a boyfriend.

Regardless, he was really annoying and I wish I could tell him his super exclusive bag will once again be available for everyone to buy.]

Anyway, Madonna for Louis makes so much more sense if it’s Madonna for Sprouse for Louis. We’re now expecting colorfully awesome ads.

Perhaps this will coincide with the Stephen Sprouse book being published by the guys who do MAO magazine as well as the upcoming Sprouse exhibit at Deitch projects early next year?

Either way, its good news. he was an amazing talent and in my opinion under appreciated during his time.

Uggh gag me. If I see another Louis Vuitton monogrammed bag or any other logo-laden purse, I might have to destroy it.

Oh I always wanted one of the original Sprouse/Louis bags. (The neon roses one sounds gross though...)

Of course they are relaunching the sprouse bags; it's for the exhibit at Deitch opening in January.
