Following up on the previous post about the new Takashi Murakami in-store decoration for Louis Vuitton and the new Multicolor Spring Pallet, the artist also produced a great little animation movie – Superflat First Love.
The plush toys that are in store, appear in the animation movie as well.
Takashi Murakami is set to launch another collaborative collection with fashion super-brand Louis Vuitton later this month.
Previous work from Murakami led to the creation of the iconic Monogram Multicolore which has become a popular fixture replicating itself on various fronts.
To kick off the launch of the Multicolore Spring Pallete, Murakami has created a short video to outline the release at hand titled “Super First Love”.
Born in Tokyo in 1962, Takashi Murakami is one of the most influential artists of Japan.
He was considered the Japanese Andy Warhol, but in his artworks in place of Marilyn Monroe or Campbell’s Soup, there is a representation of contemporary popular culture in the forms of anime and manga, together with American Pop Art and European Surrealism.
From February 17 through May 31 2009, his “Superflat” style, as he himself defines it in his own writings, is on exibition at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.
Louis Vuitton Monogramouflage Collection is the result of Murakami’s collaboration with Louis Vuitton.
