After the successful collaboration of Louis Vuitton and artist Stephen Sprouse in 2001, the two team up for the second time, utilizing the very same graffiti print. This time around they worked on bags, sneakers, shoes, sunglasses as well as some clothing and many more accessories.
Just in time for the “Rock On Mars” retrospective that will be taking place at Deitch Projects from January 8th, and the release of “The Stephen Sprouse Book”, Louis Vuitton will be coming out with the commemorative collection this month.
Along with the release of the product, Louis Vuitton will launch welovesprouse.com, a website dedicated to the artist, showcasing interviews with people that knew Sprouse. In celebration of the new LV release, Marc Jacobs posed nude painted in Sprouse’s graffiti print for Harper’s Bazaar’s January issue, which was shot by Terry Richardson. Via WWD/TBA.
Let’s see how fast the collection will sell out this time around. Detailed images of some of the product, as well as the Terry Richardson image of Marc Jacobs follow after the jump.

STOP POSTING THIS TYPE OF CRAP.
YOU GUYS ARE BETTER THAN THAT.
(all caps was necessary)
This site really needs to either A) read press releases more carefully, or B) do some research on wikipedia or something.
LV and Stephen Sprouse couldn’t have ‘teamed up’ and developed a whole bunch of new stuff ‘this time around,’ as Stephen Sprouse DIED March 4, 2004.
Have some pride in what you do for god’s sake. Maybe if you you did your homework more carefully you wouldn’t betray the fact that you’re a room full of posers who’ve only been ‘into the game,’ following ’street & streetwear culture’ via the internet for the last 4 years.
Another perfect example of this is how you refer to the ‘artist’ KRINK and the new Kid Robot toy.. If you guys had an ounce of a clue/cred, you’d know that KRINK is the BRAND of INK developed by the ‘artist’ KR. KR INK, KRINK. Get it? Good.
We are aware that Sprouse is now alive anymore, nevertheless Louis Vuitton worked with the artists artwork.
Again, we know that the artists name is KR and not Krink, the toy is called Krink Mailbox though!
FAIL.
