Louis Vuitton opening Christopher Nemeth pop-up

Louis Vuitton has decided to pay homage the late great British designer and artist Christopher Nemeth. What better way to pay homage to an artist and designer than with a pop-up shop. Starting on June 22nd during men's fashion week in Paris, Louis Vuitton will have a 325-square-foot installation on their second floor with a trunk like shelving unit as its centerpiece.

The collection will include ready-to-wear, leather goods, and a line of accessories which will include scarves and timepieces. The pop-up shop is expected to remain in place until July 18th, spanning almost a month. The collection will also be available in select Louis Vuitton stores across the globe. A pop-up store is expected to launch in Tokyo at Isetan from August 26th to September 16th.

Louis Vuitton and Christopher Nemeth a match made in art heaven

Louis Vuitton has reported that apparel will be located in 99 locations, leather goods in 157 locations, and shoes in 178 units. Louis Vuitton is famous for not doing wholesale, and therefore they do not showcase product outside of their own network of stores. However, Colette, the destination concept store on the Rue de Fabourg Saint-Honore, will carry a wide range of the runway collection, which features Nemeth's fetish hand-drawn motifs on outerwear, tailoring, scarves, DJ cases upholstered in shearling, and monogram tote bags.

Kim Jones, the artistic director of Louis Vuitton men's wear is a known collection of Nemeth's Harajuku inspired silhouettes, which he updated for the collection. It's something very original from Louis Vuitton, and different from many art inspired collaborations done before. The eternally iconic luxury brand continues to keep us on our toes.
