Stephen Sprouse first collaborated with Louis Vuitton in 2001 on the famous graffiti bags.In 2004, Sprouse suddenly died of heart failure at the age of 50. It is Marc Jacobs who has been left the task of interpreting the famous Sprouse aesthetic for the new collection. The line coincides with an Eighties retrospective in January/February at Deitch Projects' gallery and a Sprouse book which is to be released next year on February 1, 2009.

Street-style sneakers come in hi-cut day-glo colors.
Accessories include bold graffiti bangles and whimsical bag charms, and let’s not forget the newest It bags of the season — reissues of the Keepall, Neverfull, and Speedy in Sprouse-style day-glo graffiti or rose prints, a signature favored by the late artist.
