The World of LV
Luxury fashion brand Louis Vuitton is more than just a clothing line. It is a social manifestation whose tendrils twist and turn into our mind-grapes. Louis Vuitton is an oddity whose effects on the world are uncontrollable mark-mutants: guns, tattoos, paintings, wild things! The LV brand is not just a bag, not just a brand, nay! It is a very real metaphor for the desire of the western world to become a class it is not, a class lost, classless.
On the other hand, the products made in the process are priceless. Behold the World Famous Design Junkies Louis Vuitton Obsession Collection.
Then there’s this painting by graffiti artist SKAM for Louis Vuitton Toronto. This one’s photographed by Think Contra.
The Louis Vuitton skateboard case and skateboard. Seems pretty amazing, and hot, right? That’s because it’s real. It cost $8250 and was sold at the SOHO, New York location official LV store early 2009. The difference between most art pieces working with the LV and the real deal LV is the quality. A lot of the ideas on both the real and unreal side are good and terrible, but almost all the time, the quality is exclusively real.
The LV Bullet by 21-19 is part of a campaign kit for director Bita Hairdarian’s autobiographical documentary Finding Bibi; which explores her unique identity as an American born Iranian. This bullet is one of probably less than 5 prototypes made specifically for the photo shoot for the press release material for the film. P.s. can’t wait!
Designer Gas Masks by Diddo Velema (only the LV mask is shown, it is part of a set of three designer masks). This project is known especially for its high rate of misconception. AKA lots and lots of people believed these were “real.”
LV Electric Chair and Chainsaw, part of an exhibition of such objects by the name of “The Revolution Will Be Fabulous: A Weapons of Mass Designer Show.” This show was made entirely by artist Peter Gronquist – this exhibition was photographed by Jean Aw of Notcot fame for, what else, Notcot.
