Takashi Murakami x Louis Vuitton collab 

Takashi Murakami, is a contemporary Japanese artist and designer who engages in fine arts and commercial media, skillfully blurring the distinction between high and low arts. Renowned for his influential creations, Murakami draws inspiration from the aesthetic qualities of the Japanese artistic tradition and the essence of postwar Japanese culture. He started the theme and the trend of being a maximalist in the design and the fashion world. Takashi introduced the ideas into his art and design, which impacted the fashion world specifically hype beast. The use of his color scheme and character design in art and design has impacted the fashion world to take more risks and most importantly to incorporate pop art and maximalism. When the 2007 Takashi Murakami x Louis Vuitton collab came out this was a ground breaking moment in the fashion industry because Takashi made LV a different brand and look for once rather than the standard brown and cream looks they had.
