Stephen Sprouse's initial Day-Glo bright, sixties-inspired, graffiti-printed fashion collections for men and women caught the attention of fashion editors,.

History of Louis Vuitton Stephen Sprouse

In 2002, he created a vast collection of men's and women's apparel, home accessories, sports gear, etc. for the Target discount chain (dubbed "AmericaLand") - mostly rendered in a graffiti patriotic motif. For both Fall 2006 and 2008, Marc Jacobs utilized Sprouse's 1987 graffiti leopard images for handbags, shoes, and scarves for Louis Vuitton, which sold-out instantly.

The bags were, in Marc Jacobs's words, both "disrespectful and respectful at the same time." This week, as the Deitch Gallery launches the Sprouse exhibit, several limited-edition pieces of the 2009 collection will be available in Louis Vuitton boutiques nationwide, starting January 9. These new pieces - reinterpretations of the originals - are a tribute from Jacobs to Sprouse and include the artist's graffiti as well as his monogram roses, all in bright neon colors. "I did my best, in a very first degree way, to do what I think Stephen would have done, or has done, in terms of fashion," Jacobs said. The collection includes neon patent-leather flats and a zip-locked gym set, along with the graffiti-tagged bags and wallets.
