Louis Vuitton x Richard Prince 

For Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2008 collection designer Marc Jacobs decided to collaborate with artist Richard Prince who is known for his controversial exhibition of photographs entitled ‘Spiritual America’ and his series of paintings of nurses. Taking inspiration from those paintings Marc Jacobs opened the collection with an array of models dressed in nurses uniforms, all 12 models wore hats that had a letter emblazoned on each of them which spelled out ‘Louis Vuitton’.  The models also carried bags which featured Richard Princes Joke Series printed on them over washed out monogram.
