The Louis Vuitton store in Harrods located
on the Ground Floor is now triple in size
and has been designed by architect Peter Marino
in line with the global design concept
so that the space’s interior evokes a
sense of luxury and spaciousness.
And to coincide with the opening with the new store
a new colour interplay of the iconic
Leopard Sprouse
stole will pre-launch for the UK exclusively
in Harrods on June 20th, 2012.
An emblematic symbol of the house since 2001,
the new Etole “Blurry” from the Pre-fall 2012
collection is available in two new colour variations,
blending army green with navy blue and fuchsia tones.
Passionate about arts and fashion from a young age,
Stephen Sprouse fashion designer and
artist (September 12, 1953 - March 4, 2004)
was first noticed in 1983 after
competing in a fashion show of young designers.
In 1992 and 1993 his shows were 'Cyber Punk' and 'Cyber Glitter'.

In 2001,Marc Jacobs invited the American artist
to revisit the Monogram canvas,
resulting in the “Graffiti” collection
where the famous initial were replaced
by bold block capitals, scrawled by
hand as if on a bare brick wall.
In 2006, after the artist’s death,
Marc Jacobs paid tribute to Sprouse
with a collection using a simple pattern
developed by the artist in 2001, but yet to be seen.
