Dior x Kaws
Kim Jones has the mixture of capital-F-fashion and street culture down to a science. It was Jones who originally brought together Supreme and Louis Vuitton and after taking the helm at Dior he architected a similar partnership with KAWS. The collaboration did everything, including a massive flower KAWS statue center stage at his SS19 fashion show, and delivered everything from collaborative handbags to plushes to apparel to sneakers. The show also saw the return of the Dior Saddle Bag, this time designed for men, on which KAWS was also given the opportunity to collaborate.
Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami
The LV “Monogramouflage Collection” is one of the many collaborations Louis Vuitton has had with popular artist Takashi Murakami through their long-standing partnership. The collection was launched as an exhibit in the Museum of Contemporary Art, bringing luxury and high fashion into the art world. This specific LV x Murakami collab showcases the influence tools of combat and camouflage has had in the fashion world.
Gucci x Trevor Andrew
Trevor Andrew AKA “Gucci Ghost” rose to fame thanks to his graffitied, double-G logo that he started tagging everywhere and anywhere. Soon he gained the attention of Gucci Creative Director Alessandro Michel and his once known as playful graffiti tagging turned into a legitimate Gucci x Gucci Ghost collaboration that is still a fashion flex nearly a decade later. You can find his signature graffiti style gracing dozens of Gucci bags seen on the arms of A-List celebrities like Rihanna and Beyonce.
Louis Vuitton x The Icon & The Iconoclasts
Talk about unconventional! The Louis Vuitton “Icon and The Iconoclasts” collection released in 2014 featuring the work of six different designers and their takes on the LV Monogram. The above bag was designed by Comme des Garcons founder Rei Kawakubo whose spin on the Monogram was to make it less than functional.
Chanel x Pharrell Williams
The Chanel x Pharrell Williams relationship initially started with the release of the Pharrell designed Chanel x Adidas sneaker that was released in 2017. Two years later, Pharrell finally released an entire capsule collection with Chanel that included “unisex” bags, solidifying that high fashion purses should not be gender specifc. With classic motifs of the Chanel fashion house such as the infamous chain leather strap and the quilted, diamond patterns, Williams brought his personal, edgy streetwear style to the table with the pieces you can find here.
Louis Vuitton x Stephen Sprouse AKA “Graffiti”
In 2020, everyone loves a good Louis Vuitton Monogram collaboration, but not so long ago, a defaced Monogram was out of the question. Up until 20 years ago, the design had been preserved, going completely unaltered until Marc Jacobs finally defaced it in 2001, using artwork by the late Stephen Sprouse. The collaboration has since become known as the graffiti collection, and was rereleased in 2008.
Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama AKA “Infinity Dots”
The Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama collaboration first began under the creative direction of Marc Jacobs back in 2012. The dotted signature technique that you find throughout this collaboration is a symbol of the contemporary artist that uses repeating polka dot patterns in vibrant pops of colors throughout her work of art. It has been eight years since this capsule collection launched and it still remains one of the most coveted handbag collections during this time, secure yours on StockX.
Louis Vuitton x fragment
Spring 2017 was a good season to be Kim Jones. Fresh off showing a collaborative Supreme x Louis Vuitton collection in Paris, Jones announced another collaboration shortly thereafter, this time with Fragment Design. The collection released in late April of 2017 and delivered bags and apparel exclusively via in-store pop-ups around the world.
Dior x Sorayama
The Dior x Sorayama collection features everything from sneakers and boots to handbags and sunglasses. This Dior Mens collection launched exclusively online in Fall/Winter 2019, featuring the work of Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama. Throughout this collaboration, you will find a juxtaposition of Sorayama’s trademark robotic figures and his floral designs featured on classic Dior bags, one of them being a metallic version of the Saddle Bag. The end result is a collection that is truly a work of art and highly coveted.
Louis Vuitton x Supreme
Louis Vuitton x Supreme was arguably the most shocking thing to happen to the worlds of streetwear and fashion in the year 2017. The collaboration was rumored slightly before it was shown at Men’s Paris Fashion Week and officially released in July of 2017. The collection has since become one of the most coveted streetwear collaborations ever, fetching resale prices far above their retails. The collaboration dropped in-store at several Louis Vuitton locations around the world, but was not released in the city of New York after Supreme couldn’t get permits to hold a release at their SoHo location.
