"TBA tried to stay up late after midnight early Thursday morning with the hopes of seeing the highly anticipated welovesprouse.com wesbite. Between cups of coffee and the occasional cigarette, the anticipation went away temporarily…that was until moments ago - when jaws dropped at such a colorful collection, right then and there recession-bypassing notions came into play. In commemoration of the late NYC artist and designer Stephen Sprouse, Louis Vuitton has launched a massive campaign and site paying homage to an artist that pretty much changed the world of art and fashion. Thanks to the Deitch Projects, LV, & Rizzoli we can all peel back our eyelids and indulge in interesting interviews given by Marc Jacobs, Debbie Harry, Patricia Field along with a list of industry’s elite where can learn all about the man who dominated New York City fashion."

CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: While I am totally and completely against the current tasteless fashion freak-show of obscenely tight and bright trendoid uniforms that have landed here from the Planet F.A.G., this revival of 1 of Louis Vuitton's most recent and popular collections is certainly an exception to that rule. Why? Well, Y.O.U. might think that it is simply because it is a limited edition Louis Vuitton collection and, as such, should be seen as instantly valuable and is to be gushed over. Y.O.U. would, however, be quite wrong. Alas, have I taught Y.O.U. nothing? Since it's inception, Livestyle has endeavored to bring the best to Y.O.U. across a myriad of interests and, more significantly, seeks to refine your senses and engender a greater appreciation of quality and history with regard to whatever-the-fuck so catches my impeccable eye. With that said, the 2009 Louis Vuitton Stephen Sprouse collection is the perfect homage to the late, great American artist and his signature futuristic style.
As is the case with many art world masters, Stephen Sprouse's prolific collections where only matched by the inconsistency of his business ventures. Hey, sometimes it be like that. Inspired by Andy Warhol, Sprouse mixed 1960's silhouettes with daring splashes of neon colors and graffiti (even collaborating with NYC/art world graffiti enthusiast Keith Haring) producing collections off-and-on for well over a decade.
Sometimes the world has to catch up to Y.O.U. in order to truly appreciate your creations. When he was alive, Stephen Sprouse experienced mixed success and reviews, but, today, his most iconic pieces go for heavy fetti in thrift shops and, of course, on the world's thrift shop, eBay. Anyway, Louis Vuitton has spared no expense in honoring this man with both the collection and the awesome website dedicated to him and his work. Oh yeah, this is also a nice accompaniment to the book on the career of Stephen Sprouse that is scheduled to be released on January 8, 2009.
Now, obviously, these bold looks are not meant to be thrown together for 1 ridiculously loud outfit. Y.O.U. do understand that these pieces are meant to accent your ensemble and bring some great color to an otherwise classy outfit, right? Right. I mean, Y.O.U. have to know that or else Y.O.U. wouldn't be here with me ... lol. What's good ma? This is Livestyle.
