Individual Sole

Louis Vuitton, the premier French luxury brand and Comme des Garçons will open a joint Tokyo store in September where for three months, this space is where shoppers can order six special bags, designed by Rei Kawakubo (Comme des Garçons) in LV monogram pattern.  Marc Jacobs, artistic director of Louis Vuitton, admires Comme des Garçons and was an enthusiastic supporter of the idea of this joint venture.

“It is impossible to overstate Rei Kawakubo’s influence on modern fashion,” Jacobs said in a prepared statement, ‘I find it wonderful to think that 30 years ago, this immense talent, someone who has inspired so many others, was inspired by Louis Vuitton.”
