Zendaya Leads Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami Re-Edition Campaign – and the Collection Spans Over 200 Pieces

Louis Vuitton, in collaboration with Takashi Murakami, has formally presented their revamped collection. It’s only fitting that the campaign for this release is spearheaded by none other than Zendaya, an ambassador of the Louis Vuitton household.

In this setup, Zendaya appears in both a photoshoot and a video, wearing outfits and accessories similar to those featured in the collection, along with the designer Murakami himself.

For the collection, the 20th-anniversary reunion encompasses more than 200 items skillfully created by the duo. At the heart of this colorful reinvention is a creative interpretation of Louis Vuitton’s renowned monogram (guided by then Creative Director Marc Jacobs at that time). This lively presentation infuses Murakami’s designs throughout a variety of leather goods, accessories such as City Bags, silk squares and scarves, sunglasses, fashion jewelry, shoes, and perfumes.

In two separate releases, the initial drop of the collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Murakami features the Monogram Multicolore design on City Bags against a classic white backdrop. For the second drop, the same motif appears on black backgrounds for various bags. The Louis Vuitton x Murakami collection will start taking orders from January 1, 2025, with the focus of the second launch in March 2025 being on the Cherry Blossom pattern.
