Our Top Picks from the Louis Vuitton x Murakami Re-Edition Collection

Louis Vuitton was in its Marc Jacobs era when it premiered a kaleidoscopic rendition of its iconic Monogram on the Spring/Summer 2003 runway. No one had dared touch the emblem before this moment, but when Jacobs invited Japanese artist Takashi Murakami to work his magic, the rest became history. This was the defining fashion collaboration of the early aughts, and 20 years on this creative bond is as relevant as ever.

The Louis Vuitton x Murakami Re-edition Collection celebrates and updates the original batch with over 200 creations, incorporating such playful motifs as the Monogram Multicolore, Superflat Panda and Superflat Garden. Chapter One is set to arrive in Singapore with an experiential pop-up in the heart of Joo Chiat; London, Milan, New York, Seoul, Shanghai and Tokyo are the other cities to host this exclusive event.

Housed in a historic Peranakan shophouse, visitors will first be greeted by a colourful façade decorated with the smiling rainbow flowers of the 3D Superflat Garden. Inside, there are four distinct zones: a Retail Space to cop goodies; a Cinema screening two original Superflat movies; a Care Station that provides repair services for archival Louis Vuitton x Murakami pieces; and a Cafe that serves a variety of beverages like coffee latte and lemonade in a specially designed cup.

The Louis Vuitton x Murakami pop-up is open to the public from 4 to 19 January at 72 Joo Chiat Place. Swing on by to experience this whimsical world!
