This re-edition collection, a vivid celebration of art and fashion, takes its form in an extraordinary pop-up experience in London’s Soho. Running until 9th February 2025, the event immerses visitors in a world of creativity, heritage, and innovation.
Set across two floors, the pop-up at 39 Brewer Street transforms into a hybrid of retail and interactive design. Inspired by Tokyo’s modular hotels, the space features striking black and pink colour-blocked floors, creating an environment that mirrors Murakami’s playful artistic ethos. Visitors are invited to explore over 200 newly reimagined pieces from the collection, alongside archival treasures that celebrate the collaboration’s storied past.
First introduced in 2003 under the creative direction of Marc Jacobs, the Louis Vuitton x Murakami collaboration was hailed as a revolutionary fusion of contemporary art and luxury fashion. The 2025 re-edition honours that legacy with a dazzling array of pieces, including signature bags in the monogram multicolore and skateboards and trainers in the Superflat Panda design.

The pop-up’s engaging elements extend beyond the collection itself, offering visitors an array of immersive experiences. A flower-themed archival module showcases historic designs such as the 2003 Monogram Dalmatien and the 2010 Monogram Multicolore. There are vending machines dispensing collectible items, including exclusive stickers, trading cards, and a portable Murakami-themed game, to customers using Murakami-designed tokens. Guests can relax in the film lounge, reclining on Murakami’s signature flower cushions while enjoying digitally enhanced Superflat movies. Additionally, a care station provides bespoke repair services for original Louis Vuitton x Murakami pieces, ensuring timeless pieces are refreshed and preserved.

The intersection of fashion and art has produced some of the most innovative and memorable collaborations in cultural history. Fashion houses often draw upon the creativity of contemporary artists to create pieces that transcend traditional boundaries. For instance, Prada’s collaboration with artist Damien Hirst resulted in the "Prada Oasis," blending avant-garde art with high fashion. Similarly, Dior worked with painter Sterling Ruby to create bold, painterly designs for their runway collections. Louis Vuitton, beyond its partnership with Takashi Murakami, has also collaborated with artists like Yayoi Kusama and Jeff Koons, creating collections that turn handbags and accessories into walking canvases.

This collaboration not only transformed how art and fashion intersect but also set a benchmark for creative partnerships. The 2025 re-edition reaffirms Louis Vuitton’s commitment to pushing boundaries, honouring its heritage while embracing modernity.
The pop-up is available for the public to visit at 39 Brewer Street, Soho, London until Sunday 9th February 2025
Whether revisiting iconic designs or exploring new interpretations, the Louis Vuitton x Murakami pop-up is a must-see event that celebrates the joyful synthesis of colour, artistry, originality and a little nostalgia.
