Louis Vuitton Remasters Takashi Murakami's Superflat Animation
Louis Vuitton brings a touch of nostalgia to fans by remastering the Superflat animations by Japanese artist Takashi Murakami ahead of their collaborative work. It brings attention to the Japanese pop art styles that made its debut back in the early 2000s. The short films bring fans through a unique and bright experience that sees Murakami's iconic characters merged together with the monogram patterns of Louis Vuitton.
All of these are done in the highly recognizable Superflat aesthetic, which is a playful blend of two-dimension images and charming pop culture references. The first animation launched is a depiction of the Superflat Monogram Film from 2003. The story follows a little girl waiting for an LV store and encounters adorable creatures.
