Louis Vuitton at COMME des GARCONS, Merger of Oriental and Occidental Culture

Modern Fashion derives from Europe and North America but flourishes in Asia even in the economic downturn. Comme des Gar?ons which means "Like boys" in french is a japanese fashion company with more than 12 boutiques and around 200 vendors around the globe. Louis Vuitton, the fashion icon from French has collaborated with Comme des Garcons for a long time. But not until recently did the special brand "Louis Vuitton at COMME des GARCONS" come into the market.

Below is a light yellow card holder. It's handy, durable but has nothing special except the new logo. A little bit disappointed for me.

But the brown party bag is impressive. The collection is particularly designed to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Louis Vuitton in Japan. LV's classic elements are inebriated in the bag body and the 8 handles are absolutely eye-catching with the combination of Japanese traditional art and French futurism style.

As Rei Kawakubo, the owner of Comme des Garcons said, she redesigned the classic LV Handbag series to pay tribute to history of the French luxury brand. We can expect more innovative and ethical designs in Louis Vuitton at COMME des GARCONS collection. That's where the merger should go for.
