Louis Vuitton Revives Iconic Takashi Murakami Collaboration with Zendaya

In a bold move to ring in the new year, Louis Vuitton is tapping into the power of Y2K nostalgia with the much-anticipated relaunch of its groundbreaking collaboration with Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. This iconic partnership, which originally debuted in 2003, is making a grand return in 2024, featuring a campaign fronted by none other than Zendaya. The collection promises to capture the magic of the early 2000s while appealing to a new generation of fashion enthusiasts.

To celebrate this exciting re-edition, Louis Vuitton is going all out with immersive pop-up experiences across seven major cities around the globe. The activations are designed to take consumers back in time, offering a series of unique experiences. In Milan, two trams will be transformed into a café and a cinema, screening remastered versions of Murakami’s short films Superflat Monogram and Superflat First Love. Meanwhile, in Seoul, an ice cream shop and a photo booth experience will add even more fun to the pop-up. Beyond the interactive spaces, shoppers will find plenty of surprises. Those who purchase from the collection will be treated to gifts such as Tamagotchis, stickers, and trading cards. It’s a playful nod to the past, with an exclusive, limited-edition twist.

The Collection: A Blend of Icons and Innovation

Spanning over 200 pieces, the Louis Vuitton x Murakami collection is a tribute to the signature style of Murakami’s “Superflat” aesthetic. The line includes everything from the brand’s famed City Bags to must-have accessories like silk scarves, sunglasses, fashion jewelry, sneakers, perfume bottles, and even a skateboard. The collection will be released in two drops, the first in January and the second in March.

The highlight, of course, is the revival of the Monogram Multicolore design, which originally captured the hearts of fashion insiders and celebrities alike when it was unveiled at Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2003 show. The Monogram Multicolore, adorned with Murakami’s signature smiling flowers, became an instant hit, worn by style icons like Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, and Jessica Simpson, as well as the fictional queen bee Regina George in Mean Girls.
