In honor of Stephen Sprouse, the Louis Vuitton boutique in Soho will showcase it's collaboration with the late fashion graffiti art designer.
Thanks to Louis Vuitton's artistic director, Marc Jacobs, the collection will include accessories with a monogram graffiti design, as well as two limited edition pieces: a Stephen Sprouse graffiti skateboard accompanied by a hard case monogram skateboard trunk and a Stephen Sprouse "Roses" t-shirt. The skateboard and trunk will retail at $8,250 and the t-shirt will sell for $250. This will be the second collaboration between Jacobs and Sprouse.
The proceeds will benefit Free Arts NYC, a program for less fortunate children in the area for special arts.
The entire collection will launch this Thursday at the Louis Vuitton boutique on Greene Street in Soho and will be available to the rest of the world starting February 2nd. The collection is expected to completely sell out.
Gotta love a good cause in the name of fashion. And who wouldn't love a Marc Jacobs-Louis Vuitton-Stephen Sprouse collabo?
