Fashion magazine Numéro Tokyo will start releasing some great reader give-aways with their October 2008 issue. The give-away will last for overall three months, starting in October and ending in December.
The October give-away is a real goodie – a Louis Vuitton produced mouse pad, featuring the Monogramouflage pattern, that was created this year by artist Takashi Murakami. In November they will be giving away a product by Mastermind Japan, more on that soon. Via Ako Tanaka.
Detailed images of the mousepad and the October issue of Numéro Tokyo follow after the jump.

Over at WWD we came across some interesting information about the opening of the Takashi Murakami exhibition that we previewed here already. Aside from presenting a new Monogramouflage pattern developed by the artist, the message behind the pattern is also quite special.
“Tonight, Vuitton is celebrating Takashi Murakami’s “© Murakami” exhibition with a “Brooklyn Ball” at the Brooklyn Museum featuring a special performance by Kanye West, the unveiling of a new camouflage print developed by Murakami and Marc Jacobs called Monogramouflage and a special installation designed to bring attention to one of the industry’s biggest travails — counterfeits.

But rather than simply hand out leaflets to alert guests about the importance of protecting original designs, the French luxury goods house will be taking a novel, somewhat intriguing route. Outside the museum, Vuitton is setting up 10 New York-style street vendors — not to sell fakes, but rather authentic Louis Vuitton product and special Monogramouflage canvases that Murakami has created specifically for the exhibition.”
If you can make it out there and get one of those Monogramouflage canvas, you can be sure it’s a good investment! Hopefully they will be using the pattern on leather goods as well.
