With a first chapter released at the end of 2024, the awaited second chapter is finally unraveled for the celebration of Louis Vuitton and renowned contemporary artist Takashi Murakami's 20-year anniversary. Their era-defining collaboration blooms once again with the launch of an extensive re-edition collection bringing together Louis Vuitton’s unrelenting commitment to creativity, innovation, and savoir-faire with Takashi Murakami’s supremely imaginative and colorful aesthetic world.
Set to be pre-launched online on Louisvuitton.com starting 14 March, before being made available in stores worldwide on 21 March 2025, the second chapter of Louis Vuitton × Murakami will focus on the artist’s perfect-for-spring Cherry Blossom pattern with improved vividness of colors and elevated precision of each of Murakami’s characters and motifs. This extensive re-edition collection sheds light on the joyful and enduring nature of the original collaboration and the creative bond between Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami, which continues to transcend both time and stylistic trends while crossing generations and communities across the world, and offering creations to be collected and cherished – yesterday, today, and forever.
What makes this chapter even more special is the fact that it was released with one of the promised campaigns. However, it’s a really distinguished one as it’s starred by Actress Zendaya. In two exuberant and audacious new images by renowned Dutch photographers Inez and Vinoodh, Zendaya showcases pieces from the new collection surrounded by the cheerful pink flower heads and graceful petals of Takashi Murakami’s Cherry Blossom motif.
