THE ICON AND THE ICONCLASTS: CELEBRATING MONOGRAM

To celebrate the 160^th anniversary Louis Vuitton has initiated a project called The Icon and the Iconoclasts: Celebrating Monogram, which invited six of the world’s design pioneers (the iconclasts) to interpret the LV monogram (the icon) for a new series of bags.

The six selected designers include Karl Lagerfeld, architect Frank Gehry, performance artist Cindy Sherman, industrial and product designer Marc Newson, shoe designer Christian Louboutin and Comme des Garcons’ Rei Kawakubo. The pictures, which can be seen in the upcoming October issue of Harper’s Bazaar, are shot by Karl Lagerfeld.
