After striking the pause with her father for the the Summer 2008 campaign - photoshoot signed by Annie Leibovitz - Sofia Coppola will be designing bags and shoes for Louis Vuitton."It's been a fantastic experience to design exactly what I wanted" she said about her work for the fashion house. The collection will be available in store on 9 March 2009. We knew that Marc Jacobs was a close friend of Sofia, having featured her in her Marc Jacobs campaign but it seems like Marc can't separate his work from collaborations with other artists whether Madonna or Stephen Sprouse.
In 2001 Stephen Sprouse collaborated with Vuitton for an accessories line. The Artistic Director used the famous Sprouse graffiti and declined it in green, pink and orange on shoes, bags and clothes. These products were available in store in January 2009 and were specifically launched to coincide with the New York retrospective on the arts of 80's entitled "Rock on Mars" as well "The Stephen Sprouse Book". On 15 Decembre, Louis Vuitton also launched welovesprouse.com, which showcases interviews of artists the artist worked with, such as Debbie Harry, Candy Pratts Price or Patricia Field.
