Louis Vuitton just dropped its latest collab, LV Art Silk Squares (aka carré), featuring five top-tier contemporary artists. Names like eBoy, Icinori, Lorenzo Mattotti, Nicolas de Crécy, and Thomas Ott put their creative spin, turning silk scarves into wearable art.
They’ve all worked with LV before notably on the Maison’s illustrated “Travel Book” series, and this time, they bring bold, creative twists to the classic monogram, blending art with fashion in a totally unique way while keeping its rich heritage.
Crafted in Como, Italy—a hub of silk craftsmanship—these scarves are a perfect mix of bold design and heritage, with each piece hand-sewn and layered with vibrant colors.
This collection is part of LV’s long history of artist collabs, with past designs now showcased at the LV Dream exhibition in Paris.
