For this collaboration, the artists explore the realm of flowers with their unique vision. The artists reinterpret the four-petal bloom of the emblematic Louis Vuitton Monogram, bringing a new perspective to the brand’s codes and heritage. Each of their works are carefully recreated and transferred onto the silk squares in Como, Italy, using traditional and cutting-edge techniques. The end result is spectacular, reflecting the continuous dialogue between the Italian artisans, the Louis Vuitton studio in Paris and the artists.
